So far since I entered as a freshman I've had positive memories and experiences at this school. People are kind to each other, teachers go out of their way to ensure that students are doing well, and there are many different resources for students to use to determine what they want to do after graduating. I've met some of the greatest people in my life at this school. The only issue is the food where depending on the day could be a hit or miss but for the most part it's a great school with some amazing people.

The best part is how close of a community we are as a school. I would to see change as a little bit more fun activity for students and teachers.

I've attended Alisal High School for four consecutive years. All four years, I've formed part of Alisal's marching band. I enjoyed being part of Alisal's band but I have to admit that more funding and general support from the school is necessary for the band program to function effectively. The school culture at Alisal High School is amazing.

I graduated a few years back and honestly my experience was decent. Most of the issues I described were not issues I have had to deal with but what I saw as a trend around campus. If you make a good group, get involved with sports, and get good grades itll be what you make of it.
