As class president over the last year and seeing the ins and outs of my school I have learned a lot. Overall the school does it's best to understand each other but there is division between students and my job has been trying to break those barriers to make us feel at home with each other. Mira Loma has helped us for the real world and understand that we are not alone. It's a campus that has prepared many for what's to come in the future.

As a parent of a college student and Mira Loma grad, there is no better choice than Mira Loma High School. One constant comment that you will hear from recent alumni is that after graduating from Mira Loma, college was easy. And with over 40 languages spoken on campus, it's no wonder Mira Loma is ranked one of the most diverse campuses in the area.

Worse 4 years of my life. Worse 4 years of my daughter's life. I feel truly sorry that this school sees a numbers on students' faces. They do not care about what their students go through, about the fact that teenage years can be hard. They refuse to acknowledge that. When you go to an orientation,...
