I love my school, there is actually quite few problems even though outsiders might assume otherwise. It is a completely safe environment, you will not find any risk of harm done to the students, and it is actually one of cleanest high-school campuses in the Valley, whether you believe it or not. Very few things would I change, but lots of memories, for sure, were made here.

my experience at Delano Highschool was the best I have out of any other school. I felt welcomed at this school as a tiger as they greeted me and others to their 4 year school before college. At Delano High I learned a lot and the teachers helped consistently. This is the best experience I have ever been treated and the school is best when they push you for your future.
