Junipero Serra High School was such an engaging school. The teacher/ administration were great and always helpful. It was such and engaging school and it was really easy to make friends there. There so many activities and clubs and ways to get community service hours. If you want to be in a school where there is more diversity this school is the one to go to! The only ting I would love to change is that this school doesn't have a swimming team but other than that this is a wonderful place to earn and grow! Go Serra!!!
