The best part of El Modena is the people. Never will you meet such an awesome collection of students and faculty. The students are nice and welcoming. They are full of school spirit and are like a family that is open to anyone. The teachers love their jobs and where they work and it shows. I love about all my teachers, they are great at teaching and have amazing personalities. The school itself is a bit outdated and run down but you get used to it. On the bright side, new buildings and facilities have just been constructed and more are on the way so this won't be an issue for long!
El Modena is sort of the melting pot of Orange County high schools where you’ll meet many students that come from different cultural and economic backgrounds. They provide amazing programs with a brand new science building at the center of the campus. El Modena offers a variety of sports, and assortment of student-run clubs, and after school activities. All the teachers I had were all nice, really good at teaching their subjects, and willing to help students outside of the classroom. The campus consists of separate buildings with outdoor hallways which allow students to be outside for a majority of the day between classes. Sections of lawn between the main buildings act as picnic areas for students to sit and eat during nutrition and lunch periods. El Modena has a lot of student pride with amazing assemblies that include club and sports performances, as well as “Spirit Week” and similar events that allow clubs to take center stage with their own individual booths and events.
El Modena High School and the whole Orange Unified School District in my experience, wasn't what I had expected throughout my time being enrolled. The staff didn't seem to harp on our education and with a decent amount of poverty. My education didn't seem to be taken serious and others I am sure felt the same as I did. You The school itself is ran down and looks the same according to my father who graduated in 1980. All areas of this school can be improved, but only have chosen to upgrade the football field for the 7th division football team. I hope in the future they will fund more money to the school and better education.
