My opinion on JD Is that overall it is a good school, not the greatest but that is a difficult title to earn. With Juan Diego being a smaller school it has allowed me to gain lots of meaningful friends and relationships. Though I do think that the school tries too hard to force profound experiences on the students, Whether it be through retreats or similar experiences, they try to make students notice how lucky they are or how privelleged they are compared to other students or people which doesn't make much sense.
I am a previous student of Juan Diego Catholic High school and I left because I thought I needed change. I was wrong. I realized that right after I switched, I had left my family and my home. I miss the masses, the teachers, the students, and the traditions. I miss all of it so so much and I wish I didn't leave. I simply cannot go back because of my current financial situation, but I wish I could. The school was nothing but accepting. Everyone is so kind and everyone is so funny. The traditions are so fun and I never thought I would say this, but I miss going to church. I miss my friends and my family. I miss walking the halls at 8 in the morning just to get to a class and smelling food from the teacher's lounge. I miss catching up with my old teachers and I miss all of my friends. I would give anything to go back to Juan Deigo, and I truly mean that with all of my heart and every single ounce in my body. I miss my family more than words can explain. I hope I can figure something out.
Juan Diego Catholic High School has a very interesting cultural dynamic. They prepared me for college, but not in the typical ways one might expect. The culture of the school moves fast, with there seeming to be a new 'hot topic' of conversation every couple hours. Students are often pitted against each other in the name of artistic value and athletic strength. I felt the school prepared me for college in just that I am able to adapt to any hard situation and handle myself in a way where I can succeed. Academically, they are pretty averege and the reading period is an absolute joke, as everyone is in the auditorium every single day and illness spreads rapidly during flu season. They did not acknowledge the music department when I attended and we were winning awards, only the mediocre football team, but that's probably not an issue now as their music program has died off due to disorganization.
