MJ High school has been a good experience overall. We have been involved with the school/system, for years prior to even having children of our own. My wife was a former teacher in the district, and has former colleagues still teaching there. Additionally, our son is a senior and graduating there. This is a good school and has been a good experience.

The academics in the school are great. I had some good teachers and they did some college preparation. The worst part of this school is the lack of inclusivity. During multi-cultural day for example, I was only allowed to participate in one activity when I come from a multicultural background. Additionally, some of the extracurricular options were removed where most of the minorities were in, like the dance team.

My experience at MJHS is awesome! The teachers here help and care for their students. They help with things that aren't related to school. They help with problems outside of school. MJHS Is the school your kids/teens should go to. Thank you MJHS for everything you do.

They take the time to help get their students the best they can be and I wou...
