We all remember our high school and the ups and downs that came with it. My completion in fact, wasn't actually very long ago. Mare Island Technology Academy
When I attended, it was like the school was constantly metamorphosing, not only in its identity but location as well. It didn't have a permanent spot to call home for a while, so we were bouncing all over the city. Imagine having Spanish class in church pews or having to hang up blue tarp for walls. It definitely made things hectic but the curriculum never faltered.
Most of the staff was supportive and really did care. Our resources were just decent, especially for a school that supposedly specialized in technology. There was a sense of community but I think a chunk of it was because of the great deal of community service hours that needed to be completed. The goal overall was preparation for college, which was evident in its difficulty and many graduation requirements. In the end, it was a rewarding experience that challenged me academically and taught me discipline due to its strict code.
