I loved my time here but there were a few admin and teachers that made the whole experience a bit worse. The biggest problem is the School Board. They are comprised of white, conservative, Christians who have no sense of the changing climate of society and the increasingly diverse school population.

Going into Pacifica I was a naive, cocky homeschool student with a perfect GPA and a brief foundation of faith in Christianity. I...
