Salinas High School gave me the tool necessary to navigate an institution of higher education. I am confidently able to say that I am choosing the correct career path for myself and for my future. There were times at Salinas High that I wish I received a little more direction regarding programs and scholarships that pertained to me. They provided excellent resources for students and in my experience the faculty is dedicated to their students.

A lot of the teachers are amazing especially the science teachers. The worst part would probably be the math teachers. I never had a good math teacher in my opinion. One of the math teachers is hated by everyone and most people do terrible in her class. I don't know why shes a teacher, honestly. My worse experience at this high school was her class.

The best part of my experience in Salinas High School was the clubs that I was able to participate in. I was able to meet new people and collaborate. I like how they have many resources available to all students.

I loved Salinas High, most of the teachers I had were amazing, (Balbo, Beall, Power, Nichols) I would highly recommend this school which rivals any local private school. The amount of Sports, Clubs and School Spirit is unparalleled compared to any other high school in the area.

Overall I loved high school and being apart of all the activities; from going to games, prom, and being apart of homecoming, etc. I feel like your experience at SHS can be wonderful if you make it, meaning getting involved (clubs!) or even just going to a football game and supporting the school! I r...
