Brea-Olinda High School

Whoa, only 1 review so far? I graduated a long time ago, but I’ll reminisce about my so-​so high school memories.
— Most of the non-​AP /​non-​Honors teachers that I had were mediocre. It’s a good thing thing that I took the AP+Honors courses :)
— Back then the weight-​lifting room had dust and spiderwebs on their rusting weights. I remember even the nasty smell of piss. Hopefully they cleaned that up.
— The cranberry-​walnut cookies at the stand in the cafeteria were the only things worth buying. Cafeteria food tasted and looked like food that was puked.
— When I went, people joined the Yearbook/​Newspaper club just to play Starcraft.
— Still not a fan of the big open campus with the wide space in the middle. I remember having to walk across that from my classroom, and pass the cafeteria and go downstairs to get to the PE area. That walk in itself could be considered exercise.
Yet, I remember the friendships that I made in BOHS, which still continue on. For better or worse…

I was not exactly sure how I wanted to rate my alma mater. I enjoyed my 4 years at school, through all the ups and down that I went through.
I had the greatest guidance counselor, Jennifer Garcia — now Jennifer Cormier. She was really supportive in everything that I wanted to do and was really pushing me to go to Cal which was her alma mater as well. I knew that I could go to her whenever I had needed to talk to some adult that was not my parents.
Overall, I had a great couple of years here at BOHS.
