Montebello High School

I attend Montebello High School. It is a great school. my first year was great the students helped my find my classes and showed me the school grounds. Some people underestimate MHS. People see us as «bad students». They don’t believe we have what it takes to be a great school but we do.
The students that i have worked with are very intelligent. the students and my self do not really need the teacher to remind us about the daily routine. The students a very proactive. but… we need MORE school spirit.
The teachers are great. They encourage us to get involved, make a great effort, ask questions, and to take test seriously. The teachers are very involved with the students.
i had a problem at school and they helped me get through it we resolved it smoothly and peacefully.
The school grounds need some work. the graffiti is not that bad but, there is alot of trash on the campus and the custodians do not wash down the trash cans so an repulsive smell comes from the campus.
All in all, my experience so far was great. Love that school. Always happy to attend and I will be happy to graduate next year!
GO CLASS OF 2015!!!

I am guilty of attending this high school in the past and my memories of old dear Montebello high is nothing to brag about. I cruised through my classes and I have more memories of parting than the actual school. I attended this school for two years and drugs and parties where always the main topic in my groups so it wasn’t a good environment for education. But I guess your high school career is greatly influenced by your peers, who would have thought that my parents knew what they were talking about.
But that was then and this is now and the school has had a huge face lift. They have added a new building and improved the baseball field and the football field. I recently returned to the campus in order to attend my sister’s graduation for the class of 2011. The school was still the same but a bit cleaner and I guess the staff is pretty much the same since I recognized a lot of staff members that put up with me in the past. As for the school academics which should be the most important part it has greatly improved. The amount of graduates tripled this year and there was 5 times more four year university bound students this year than 9 years ago.
So the school has improved and apparently the students have to which is all great news. So go check it out if you’re searching schools for a future student and you be the judge.

I’m an alumni of Montebello High School so always and forever MHS will be #1 !! had good times here, amazing marching band and drill team and a great staff down the lunch ladies. Mr. Schwartz runs a fine high school and MHS is a great asset to the Montebello Community

The students here lack motivation, intelligence, and creativity. Unfortunately, I attended this high school and received one of the most unsatisfying educations of my life. I basically taught myself everything.
We don’t have proper science and math programs, and our classrooms feel like chicken coops. Messy and unorganized.
I had about 5 worthwhile teachers that kept me sane throughout high school, and I think they know who they are. They treated us like adults while the rest didn’t care. I try not to blame the teachers because the budget cuts do effect their teaching, but I envy the kids I’ve met at UCLA who had outstanding educations.
The restrooms were filthy and always smelled awful. They only had one open for 3000 kids. They threatened the kids with restrooms, saying if they tagged in them they would close them down… Surely, someone tagged on the stalls and the seats.
Our football team was notorious for losing. How sad is that?
Only part of this degenerate high school that was worthwhile was being a part of the Associated Student Body, and a kick ass water polo team.
The principal is genuinely a nice man who tries to keep his school in order, and he always gains the respect of his students.
But, this isn’t a school, it’s a zoo.
