Valencia High School

This school doesn’t realize what is going on in their campus. My friends transferred to Valencia & tells me there’s kids selling drugs everywhere & girls are too easy with boys at this school girls are also getting bullied & the school does not do anything about it.

I like what the transformations the school has taken since I was here. New digital marquees, programs classrooms and fencing all around the school.
I tried to do a walk through with my girl and they said no its a closed campus. What happened to the days when mom and used to be able to come in and whip your ass in front of your peers. It’s what the kids need nowadays. It’s like a fortress and that’s good for the safety of the kids but makes it unfriendly for the parents. I’m just getting to know what’s up here so far I like the changes.

Wow has the campus changed in the 40 years since I graduated in 1973! Very high tech classrooms and clearly offer a lot to the students.
It was a bit scary to hear about the IB students graduating with 4.8 GPA’s though… gosh, I graduated in the top 10 in my class when 4.0 was the top! No pressure on these kids at all, but that is the way of the world these days.
There were about 1400 students when I graduated and now there are almost 2700. Yikes, that’s a lot of hormones running around to keep corralled.
Lockers were all gone, senior quad as I knew it was gone, lots of new buildings. Wonder who is paying for all this?
Was a fun trip down memory lane, though. Go TIGERS!

Recently my little sister was a victim of school bullying and the school did not take the situation as seriously as it should… as punishment the students who bullied her HAD to write apology letters. No police action was taken and no further punishment was inacted to prove the severity of their actions. This goes on at many schools nation wide and is a real problem in our society. I went to VHS all four years of my high school career and know how they like to cover things up and not upset the parents, in which they are afraid would sue them for pointing out their child for bullying. They know it is happening more often then not, but dont react until the chils who is bullied is on the brink of breaking, so they put a bandaid on it and pretend like its no big deal.
This is not ok.
the couseler that dealt with this specific case and did not follow through with school policy…
Taken from VHS handbook :
FIGHTING — ASSAULT — HAZING — HARASSMENT — DATING VIOLENCE (during enrollment at Valencia):
Incident 1: 3 – 5 day suspension/​parent conference (G.C. meeting)/possible police
action/​CONTRACT/​possible school transfer/​possible expulsion
Incident 2: 5 day suspension/​possible police action/​SCHOOL TRANSFER/​possible expulsion
and to review it from my experience… save your children from being scarred. Dont go to this school… if you have any questions id be happy to answer…
dont get me wrong i got an ok education and was in many of the programs that vhs offers… but i can tell you exactly what goes on here and i would never wish that on my worst enemies.

school was weak…

I agree with lauren.
wow @ mr. kramer.
you forgot to mention mr. rodriguez.

Now… I’ve been to all of the high schools in the district. This one is THE best. They have many programs that help the students prepare for college. What a thought!
The kids here were regular and the teachers didn’t have their heads in their asses. Shout to: Mr. Greenhill (Best auto shop instructor… he sure cared about his students!), Mrs. Greenwald, Mr. Kramer and Mr. Pike!
Minus one star for the fucked up parking situation they STILL have going on.
(Beware of a motorcycle cop and a cop in a suburban. They camp out!)

my alma mater!
they’ve gone through a lot of changes since I last attended. a baccaleaurate (sp?) program, blue ribbon notoriety, etc are just a few things that make this ghetto-​looking, portable-​filled campus worth it.
some of the best years of my life were spent here. ahhh… the memories…
