In Capistrano Unified School District especially in my past few years in high school, I have had several opportunities to explore my interests for college through in-school classes, through my counselors, and through outside of school potential opportunities provided for several fields to be further explored after high school. The administration is very organized and responsive to needs for change or alteration, and I am very satisfied with my time here! Teachers in all subject areas are extremely educated and qualified, excited to assist even after class in any aspect.
I HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE AT CUSD. MOST OF THE TEACHERS HERE WHERE REALLY INVESTED IN HELPING THEIR STUDENTS GROW AND MOTIVATING YOU TO DO WELL. OCCASSIONALLY YOU WOULD HAVE A TEACHER THAT SEEMED LIKE THEY DIDNT REALLY ENJOY THEIR JOB. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I HAD A REALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE AND REALLY ENJOYED MY TIME IN THIS DISTRICT. ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITE TEACHERS HERE WAS THE HONORS ENGLISH 2 TEACHER MRS.BRINKS. SHE REALLY PUSHED HER STUDENTS TO TRY THEIR VERY BEST WITH EVERYTHING THEY DO. SHE IS VERY INVESTED IN HER STUDENTS LIVES AND WANTS TO SEE YOU SUCCEED IN HER LIFE EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER IN HER CLASS. AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER TEACHERS LIKE THAT AT CAPISTRANO VALLEY HIGHSCHOOL. THE TEACHERS AT MY HIGHSCHOOL ARE MOSTLY ALL VERY COMMITED TO THEIR STUDENTS. I PROBABLY WOULDNT HAVE SUCH BIG DREAMS IF IT WASN'T FOR MY TEACHERS HELPING ME MAKE BIG STPES TOWARD MY GOALS. THOUGH OUR DISTRICT IS NOT PERFECT, IT DOESN A VERY GOOD JOB TO MAKE IT A VERY GOOD LEARNING SPACE.
Capistrano Unified provided me with amazing opportunities for growth in both my academics and music. I was able to participate in both band and orchestra. We performed in concerts at Segerstrom Center! Academically speaking, the curriculum was challenging and required me to apply my knowledge to real world problems. The best part of my educational opportunities was getting to take a course in forensic science which has inspired me to pursue a career in forensics.
