I have had a very good experience so far. This is my last year here and it probably the best to be honest. I haven't got to do much but this year I have so done the most activities. One thing that I will say is that they can do better on making sure that all the students are satisfied. Things I hope do change is student engagement and better food

Tehachapi High School is a place where (like everywhere else) your experience and what you get out of it depends on what you put in. Personally, I have had some of the greatest times of my life at this school, and this is because I do my best to be as involved in the school as possible.

Failed miserably at everything a school should be, I was excited to go to high-school until I made it here and all the teachers hated me asking questions, I thought that's how you learn. This place is nearly indistinguishable from a prison
