Maria Carrillo High School

Posted October 4, 2009

Maria Carillo provides a solid and challenging academic education and has many high quality, caring teachers. The drama department and the cross country/track teams are fantastic. MCHS has been very effective at preparing my own kids for a brilliant college carreer. After four years at MCHS, my children successfully got into top colleges. Thank you MCHS!

MCHS is an outstanding public school where most staff and teachers and counselors really care about the students if your students themselves care about their commitment to education and parents care about supporting their kids. Your students will then be much better prepared for the vigorous work and expectations of college level. So parents and students, don't complain but instead get involved yourself and work hard and you will get what you work for! I have two girls who graduated from MCHS with top honors and are doing well in college because they worked hard, and of course with the help and support from the teachers/staff.. They got the most out of their time at MCHS.

I am a recently graduated alumnus of Maria Carrillo High School and it provided me with the best education in the Santa Rosa area that I could have possibly hoped for. After my freshman year at nearby Rancho Cotate High, an abysmal school in Rohnert Park, I transferred to Carrillo. The performing arts and music programs are exceptional (I especially recommend the choir program, in which the teacher is truly dedicated to music and her students), the academics are challenging and beyond adequately prepare students for college, and the sports are very good without disrupting academic life. The staff, with notable standouts, really care about the students and become mentors to them through and beyond high school. The clubs are well-rounded, there is a lack of violence in and around the school, the arts and sports are excellent, and the school excels academically- it was a superlative high school experience.

I attend Maria Carrillo and I am currently finishing up a year where I took AP Chemistry, Honors English, Honors World History, and Trigonometry (I am only a sophomore). I do have trouble keeping up acceptable grades, and the teachers expect WAY more from you than at other high schools. The campus is lovely, and the littering problem has been getting better. There is a recycling club, and it also helps with the litter. The clubs present are very well-rounded; there is a Swing dance club, a Chess club, the Junior Statesman of America, Amnesty International, the Travel Club, and various other clubs. The student body does not have much school spirit, though. Instead, they engage in world affairs by selling peace t-shirts, and informing every one of what is happening in the world, and what we can do to change it. The athletics are top-notch.
