Mission Bay High School

Posted October 3, 2009

Like so many schools, the staff at Mission Bay High School has gone through many challenges the past few years. However, having three teens who have and are still growing up at Mission Bay High, the staff, counseling office and teachers have worked with me to assure my students succeed, continue to respect the importance of learning and living within the boundaries set for them at school - that alone is amazing - it takes both school staff and the parent. Thank you for being my other half and helping me raise my 3 wonderful teenagers! Fondly, Mission Bay High School Mom

MBHS has been an excellent school for our son. Academically, he is on track for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The curriculum is rigorous, challenging and dynamic. If you have not done your research on IB you owe it to your student to check it out on the MBHS website. It is THE ticket to college these days. MBHS is our neighborhood school and I have found our son's friends (many he has known since elementary) and also his new friends to be kind, well rounded and unpretentious. Overall, I can best describe MBHS by saying it is an empowering environment for students academically, socially and athletically. This empowering environment has made a remarkable contribution to the overall self esteem of our teenager which, as a parent, has been invaluable. Finally, I would be remiss to not mention the excellent teachers who have been accessible and responsive.

I am very pleased that we have decided to send our daughter to High School in our neighborhood rather than trying to find ways to send her to other schools outside this community. I think parents put too much focus on test scores and busing and not enough on spending time with their kid and keeping them on track. Our daughter is doing great academically at MBHS and she is enjoying sports and spends time with friends that live near her house. She was apprehensive before coming here because of all the negative rumors she heard from people who have never been at MBHS. Not she is pleased she made this choice. MBHS is a safe environment and the diverity reflects the real world. This school has seen dramatic improvements in the last couple years and I think it will continue to improve opportunties for kids who go there.

We have had all three of our children attend MBHS. Two have graduated and received academic scholarships to Brigham Young University. Mission Bay provided them with excellent preparation for college curriculum. There are many excellent teachers at the school who have inspired my children to be excited about learning. Just as important the school provided a friendly environment with a highly diverse student population. We are a neighborhood family, but our children have developed friendships with kids from all over the city. Special kudos to the sports programs at the school-all three children have been able to participate in the waterpolo and swim programs-all with supportive and enthusiastic coaches. Our new principal is full of energy and eager to improve programs that will make our school even better.
