Mendota High School is a safe school. When walking in you get greeted by administrators and even many students. We are respected for who we are and not ever judged. We have plenty of police officers around to help us have a very safe school environment. We are provided enough time to take breaks during school and enough time to eat. We are also provided support from counselors and even teachers. Mendota High School also provides various sports and clubs that help students make friends and even stay active. Administrators are very understanding and always there in need of help. Mendota provides classes like Intro to Business or even classes like Welding or even Intro to Auto.

my experience in Mendota highschool is I enjoyed being there I learned not just only how to make friends , but I also was able to participate in lots of activities because their school provides us to have lots of fun activities to stay connected. MENDOTA highschools in educational learning is amazing. I was able to learn and a accomplish stuff that I would have not pictured for example . MENDOTA's high school learning education, we were able to learn and succeed in the form of learning everything good at making sure we understand it as for math I suck at math, but the teachers in Mendota highschool are some amazing teachers, for example, ms.Fraga she made me understand math and now when I look at math, I kind of see fun because of her. As for Miss Ochoa and a English junior class teacher, she teach to me a lot with that class. I took it as an AP language arts, but it was very easy because I had her she was a guidance and she helped us a lot.

Mendota High has had great improvements. Some teachers really care about their students but there are others that it's just a job and don't focus on them as much as they should. However, the principal and vice principal are doing an awesome job they are really helping our children achieve their goal...
