I have had a great time at Rancho. I have been here all four years and have had no thought about leaving because they have put me in such a position to succeed. I play football and track and am able to balance it very well with academics because of the support around me. My best and worst moments have been revolved around the sports in the school but I would not change them for the world.

What I enjoy most about Rancho Cucamonga high school is the environment. This is because their are a vast amount of clubs and community's that are offered for students I know that that has definitely helped make my high school experience enjoyable. Not only that but the staff is very welcoming and eager to help their students reach not just their academical goals but their personal goals. I am grateful for the experience this school has given me throughout my high school career
