I am a recent alum of Santa Clara High School and I can confidently say attending SCHS was a very positive experience I would recommend to oncoming students. Most of the staff are very helpful legitimately care about the success of their students. SCHS offers many clubs, AP courses, extracurriculars, and thriving sports programs to help student develop a sense of hard work and community. While the counselors are swamped with a lot of work and many students to aid they do their best and always try to achieve the best outcome for anyone that walks through their door. Mr. Butler, the college and career resources counselor, is by far one of if not THE most welcoming, hardworking, and caring adult on campus. If there was one thing I had to change about our school/district it would be student involvement in academics. I believe there so many students within the district that have the potential to achieve higher academics goals but are just discouraged.
I appreciate how the Santa Clara Unified School District takes students needs into consideration and does everything they can to support students with resources that they need (such as school supplies, shoes, food, etc.) Also, SCUSD works hard to provide students with valuable and up-to-date resources that can benefit them academically. They have after school programs available at each school that help with each students needs as well as giving assistant to parents. As a student who constantly takes advantage of teacher help and advice, I appreciate having these after school resources because I'm able to fix any of my errors in my work, better my scores, and ask questions.
Thus far, the district has provided me with many opportunities and has granted me a good education. It is without a doubt incredibly diverse, and there is an emphasis on the student's unique cultures. As I am currently enrolled in Santa Clara High, I can say cultural clubs are appreciated and special occasions such as Hispanic Heritage Month are recognized. Academically it has significantly improved with the STEM program, and has strengthened its science and math programs. This is extremely beneficial, as we do live in the Silicon Valley. Overall, the district has progressed for the better over the years.
