I transferred from a different school, when I first started attending the school I felt out of place, alone, and isolated. Since then, my peers and staff I met welcomed me with open arms. I was able to get out of my comfort zone, to meet new people, and potentially make life long friends. This community has helped me adjust with my academics and future education.

My experience at the high school was overall great. I have made many friends and the majority of the teachers were very helpful and supportive. I couldn't have asked for a better school to go to.

I think Watsonville high school is a really good school because of the support from the whole community like teachers , students , counselors and more people are willing to give you in order to be successful and feel important in the community. The only thing I would like to change would be the restrooms because most of the time they are dirty or closed .
