I been at Montclair High School since the 9th grade, I have learned a lot specially way on how to get financial aid. They have many college events which helped me choose my dream college. The staff are very sweet people and if you need help they will try.

I would say that I overall enjoyed my experience in Montclair High School mainly because of all the new people I have met there. I have made so many new friends because I was able to branch out and talk to others. The staff are very nice and they do help those who need it, be either mental or academic help. The food could always be better but at most times it is still good. I have also made many connections with teachers and they have helped me decide what I want to do in life. I do believe that they could use the money they receive and put it into things that matter like new restrooms, better classrooms, and more sitting room in the cafeteria.

As a recent graduate, Montclair High School has had it's ups and downs. While I enjoyed my time spent, friends made, and some of the teachers. Montclair High School is nothing one can gloat about. You live, You learn, we move on.

I am disappointed by the Cavalier Staff. Outwardly they appear to really care and pull for the students. In fact, they don't. Like everything in life the kids at the school are just a number. Sad.
