My experience at Pasadena Memorial High School has been very pleasant, as it has helped me get closer to graduating and ready for college. The college get-ready program at Memorial is very helpfull and the staff is always there to help you.

Not a great school to go to. Sure there are some good moments here and there, but if you get assaulted or sexually abused by another student, they will try their best to make you silent. They have threatened suspension to girls who were sexually assaulted by football players, and the administration also tries to keep a good picture. But truth is, everyone knows about it but they are forced to keep quiet.

Teachers are great, but administration is horrible.Don't reveal that you suffer from a mental illness because you will be looked down upon, and questioned. Especially by the principal Jeremy Richardson. You will stop being treated with respect. The stigma is very present at the school.

The teacher truly care about the students receiving an education, and are the most devoted teachers I've ever seen in getting knowledge into the thick skulls of their students.
