The teachers at my school are amazing. Their passion for their subject is extremely infectious and it encourages me to pursue my passions. I am incredibly grateful to have had such amazing teachers throughout my time at EHS because I was able to learn a lot from them. My least favorite part of attending EHS is definitely the excessive amount of trash around campus. It's upsetting to see people trash the campus simply because they are lazy and cannot afford to stand up and throw it in the garbage can.

As a senior at Escondido high school my experience was an amazing 4 years the teachers and staff made sure to look out for the students and would teach us how to reach new levels and explore different areas in our education and community

Escondido High School helped pave their way in showing that college is a possibility for us. They offer services and help for those who may be unaware of college deadlines such as applications and FASFA and go as far as taking you out of class to make sure your applications are being submitted. EHS was and is a great school as long as you return the energy they are supporting you with.

First week and a half has been wonderful. The counselor spent a lot of time with us and got my son the exact classes he wanted. There are a lot of gang members there so he transferred to honors classes and that solved that problem. They say a lot fewer drugs here than at San Pasqual where he attende...
