Excelsior High School

I’m a current student at Excelsior High School which is now known as Norwalk La Mirada Adult School. The counselor ladies are so freaking rude. I just called this morning like 5 mins ago to ask a few questions regarding my classes and whoever answered was just so snotty. I don’t know why they work there if they have to deal with customer service and such. No wonder people leave that place. Everything else is OK. I like the old timey feeling of the place but just the staff needs to check themselves. Horrible office people!!! They swear they are doing us a favor. If it wasn’t for us they wouldn’t have a job.

This place is so run down. I can see why they don’t have full time students anymore. My daughter has her basketball games here in the «Girls Gym». I find it funny to call it that since they only have a «Boys Bathroom». I have to stand guard when she wants to go to the restroom. It doesn’t flush well, there’s never any soap, and rarely any paper towels. The trashes get full pretty quickly and spill over. Kinda gross. The bleacher seating is sparse, most parents wind up standing. Come early to the games if you expect to get a seat.

This review is not regarding the school at all. This is primarily about an event that happened today. Today’s event was the second annual Holi Festival Of Colors!
HISTORY
The festival originated in India to celebrate the start of spring! Every year, people would come together and throw water balloons filled with colored powder at each other. he festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair ruptured relationships. –Wikipedia
EXPERIENCE
It was really fun! Five dollars gets you inl and 12 dollars gets you 5 bags of corn starch powder! That’s 17 dollars of fun! People of all ages would gather near the staging area and start throwing powder at each other! It was an all out blitz! Random people would even throw powder at you if they see that you’re clean! There were also food trucks, yoga demonstrations, and performances by some yogi singers. I think people came for the main attraction of throwing powder at each other!
Would recommend this festival to everyone. Spend time with thy neighbor, friends, and family by throwing powder at each other!
Cheers and Beers!
