I graduated in 2019, and I absolutely loved it. It was such a wonderful, tight-knit community where exploration, project based learning, peer mentorship, and risk-taking was encouraged. Every child should have the opportunity to go to a school like Ohlone.

I guess the middle school teachers are the ones that work hard with our kids to bring them up to middle school stand...
