I think Mitty has a lot of resources to offer. Whenever I need help with a subject, there's always something available for my assistance.

At Archbishop Mitty, there is constant school spirit with rallies, games, and more. However, the academics side is also well supported with there being many AP classes provided and good teachers. I believe that Mitty is also well-known for their sports with amazing teams such as their women's basketball team. Their theater team is amazing as well. I love the environment and there are so many kids so you can find your friend group but still expand.

I had a great experience at Mitty, being involved with football, baseball, golf, campus ministry, and other clubs like the fishing club. I had plenty of help from teachers, especially if I struggled with class work or needed help studying, and the entire school served as one large community for everyone to feel at home.

Academics at the school are solid but the administration is mediocre. The Dean is like a failed police officer. Running the school like a prison is not a good representation of learning. There is a police presence at every event. Bringing drug dogs on campus and monitoring kids going to the bathroom...

Sadly, I think this once-decent school has lost its way.
