      I think I have had a pretty good experience at Moreau. I have met many wonderful people here who are my friends. Some of the teachers that I got were either really bad or excellent. For some teachers, I felt really confident in the class and they were there to support me while others didn't really do a good job at teaching. It's an ok school for school culture where some people participate in school spirit while others don't. The food is really expensive and it's not even worth the money but sometimes it can be good. It does prepare you for college and as long as you take the classes that you want and get the right teachers, this school can be on the best!

      I attended Moreau Catholic from 2012 - 2016 and had enjoyed my time there. The family involvement is immense and the involvement between other students is great. They offer many extracurricular activities and you will not see a student not in one. Everyone is welcoming which helped accelerate the transition from junior high. Moreau Catholic offers almost every type of class, while also giving the opportunity of AP classes that go towards college credit. I had a memorable experience at Moreau, from the jam-packed Friday football games and different volunteering experiences in San Francisco that gave perspective. Moreau prepares the students for whats to come in college.
      Overall, I believe Moreau is very good at creating a safe and diverse space for students. Moreau Catholic really prepares students for college with rigorous classes and workload that many alumni often say is less than what Moreau assigned. Moreau's counselors work tirelessly to prepare students for college and guide students through the college application process. I believe the administration could give more attention to student voices and ideas, as many student ideas are often shut down or ignored. However, Moreau does have a vast array of clubs and activities for students to be a part of.
