School spirit isn't that great. Events like Hoco aren't the best bc the school is cheap when it comes to that, but they love spending money on unnecessary stuff. It's fun if you make it fun though and you have good friends.

Mount Miguel High School has been around for decades and throughout those years it has developed a strong emphasis for college readiness. With programs such as Matador Early College. The sports at Mount miguel are one the best in the district especially Football, track, and cross country. Football being Division 1 and CIF and League champions. The school lacks in quality of the food and academics in terms of preparing for state tests or even the SAT.

I really enjoyed my four years at Mount Miguel. I build very strong connections with many of the staff members. Teachers are great, caring, and loving. You definitely get plenty of leadership and community service opportunities, if and only if, you put yourself out there and get involved. #Shoutout...
