Antioch High School

Antioch high school students are by far the most humble, good hearted, grounded and respectful teens!!! They have the unfortunate budget cuts one city should not ever have and continue financial distress… Students come to school, smiling, despite gossip and defamation of athletic department and staff! It just shows how the mature adults highly rank a school by the year built and turf field. Location is by far poor judgement to those who wish to buy property!!! The only unjust school district has is hiring those specialty dept employees (athletic coaches, counselors, ect.) You should be hired by district and appointed school as needed without the intent to single out school of choice!!! This has been the biggest problem for the last five years!!! Mr. Rocha hats off to your role and determination!!!

I enjoyed my time here, which was very short, any longer and I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed it. Some teachers there really don’t deserve the attitude that the students give them and i feel like they should not have to work in this joke of a shcool. When i was there back in 2009 there were fights daily, trash cans being set on fire, kids smoking on 17^th street, burnouts all over. a can of mace exploded in a locker in the 900 hall and they had to evacuate the hallway. I took the C.H.S.P.E. on recommendation from my 10^th grade biology teacher who saw my intelligence and knew that i was not suited for this disgrace of a high school.
None of the above is why i chose to leave this highschool. one day in 10^th grade another student threatened to «go home, get his dads gun, and shoot me in the head» and this wasn’t even to my face, i heard it from another student, and this kid who made the threat said it in a classroom in front of many students and a teacher, I informed my mother who came down to the school and we went into the office to talk to Mrs. O about what had happened, i had witnesses that were backing up everything i said, and she said i quote «oh him, yeah he wouldn’t do that» and shrugged it off.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? you cannot take a threat like this lightly. So after hearing that, we walked out of the meeting and informed the police who searched this kids house and his father did in fact have a handgun. the police took action and I promptly left the school for good that day. I had already received my CHSPE graduation certificate so the last few months of school were a constant battle between me and my teachers of me not doing any work, and presenting my certificate to the teacher when they demanded an explanation. I laughed my way out of this horrible school and never looked back, This was when i was 16, I then went to LMC and took classes, I was one of the youngest people in any class I took.

I went here for about 2 years but did not graduate from here, instead I graduated from live oak high school. my time here was god awful. the admins were not much different than the jocks at the school (other than age) i once was sitting at a rally when i saw a admin (Mr. batalini?) direct a student to throw a bottle at my head because at the time i had a Mohawk. i then threw it back at the kid and told the kid to «eat sh*t» little did i know i fell right into Mr. B’s plan. he called me out even though he saw the other kid throw the object at me first. I sat in his office as he talked to be about my looks (guess he was not too into my punk rock wear) but being a high school admin I’d like to think they go through some sort of training to understand kids «rebel» stage. I’ve seen other teachers totally perv out on high school girls and other admins/​coaches be total buddy buddy with the school bullies. all in all I learned how full of bullshit the people that run things can be, so thank you for that AHS. Also the class rooms are way too crowded. I decided to transfer to live oak after I told Mr. batalni hes full of shit and should be fired and there I received a scholarship and honors in government class graduating in 2003. proving how ineffective schools like that (AHS) are for kids that know its just a sheep mentality training center.

The administration is awesome here, three generation of Rocha (current principal) makes this place feel like a family.
The campus is showing its age and there’s alot of unmaintained grassy areas, compared to Deer Valley High, this campus can look way better.
Keep supporting this school, go Panthers!

Seriously? No one has reviewed this place? Out of the choices you have in Antioch, I’m glad I went to Antioch instead of Deer Valley.
1997! lol…
