Junipero Serra High School was my home away from home. I enjoyed being a student there. I made so many wonderful friends. Every year we always had the best on campus activities. We even had some really great dances. The staff at the school were always so welcoming and they spent everyday showing the students how much they cared about us. I would definitely recommend this school to other families and I would not change anything about the school.
