I started to attend San Jacinto High coming from San Joaquin Memorial High in Fresno. When I got there, I felt a connection with many people. The teachers are great, they put you in a position to succeed despite all of the distractions that go on. I was the quarterback and lead my team to the division 2 playoffs last season. Overall, the school is great. I felt at home.

My experience at this school has been both good and bad. I believe this school is a good school but they can improve in many areas like for example getting us ready to go to the real world. Another thing they can do is make it a safer place for student to go and also make it more fun. Yes they have activities here and there but they aren't fun to the point where lots of people would like to join.

I'm not much for typing but I felt the need to leave a comment about SJHS. I LOVE the teachers here! They helped my daughter but weren't pushovers like so many schools have these days. She needed strictness yet caring and she got it. Great school.

My twins are graduating from San Jacinto High next June and I know they've had a quality education. We are actually located in Hemet, but my husband and I made arrangements to have them continue to go to SJHS. My sister's son goes to Hemet High, which we have learned is not as good as San Jacinto.
