San Pedro Senior High School

Posted October 7, 2009

My oldest daughter graduated in '08 and I have 2 children there now. My younger daughter is a senior this year and she is the editor of the school newspaper, and last year she was co-editor. I know that she succeeds because she always gives her best work, but I think the school offers the students the chance to succeed whenever possible. My son is a freshman and he is happily on the school soccer team which is a dream come true for him. Otherwise, I don't know much about the school to brag except that I do know that the football teams have been great.

I have 3 children attending SPHS. To date I have had great communication with their teachers. I am an actively involved parent and I have enjoyed being part of the school's advisory committee. Currently we have a devoted Title 1 Coordinator who is dedicated to increasing Parent Involvement which makes being at the school an enjoyable experience. I encourage all parents to attend a CEAC, SSC or SBM meeting and see first hand how all stakeholder groups are working together. As we start this New Year I look forward to the continued support of the Administration and Staff.

As a SPHS Magnet School alumni, I have to say I found even the accelerated curriculum a joke. High school was all about being babysat. I only had one or two teachers that stand out in my mind as people who were dedicated and could relate to us as students, Mr. Saavedra being among them. As for parents complaining that the school 'lets' the students ditch, I would recommend giving your children a sounder moral foundation and stop blaming it on the school. Kids will ditch if they want to, regardless of which school they go to. Whether they can do that and still graduate is the real question. I speak from experience (and graduated with honors, no less.) I think San Pedro High probably ranks the same as most other high schools in America as far as educational quality- our antiquated educational system is in dire need of an overhaul.

I am a student who graduated from San Pedro high school, it is a great school. It has tremendous community support. The teachers are excellent. The amount of counselors at this school, I do agree aren't enough.I think this school has been greatly updated in recent years.I believe that it offers a great deal of extra curricular activities for all student needs. I'm sure there are problems such as truancy, but can anyone think of a high school that doesn't have that problem.Overall, I loved my experience there and as a mom I would recommend San Pedro high school to other parents.
