Hello, my name is Karla and I am a class of 1994. I recommend this school not only because they a good academic program but the teachers and staff are great. They go out of their ways to help each and every student and I thank them for that. I'm sure there are teachers now who went to school with me, who are making a difference as well. My kids are graduating this year from 8th grade and are going to Memorial and my oldest (22) also graduated from there as well. Thank you MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL!

Yes I would recomend this school. I attended Memorial high school a few months ago in the 9th grade but then I had to move. The acedemic programs are spectacular and they have everything you could want. Including sports and other extra curricular activities. The student there are very friendly as well. I loved it and yes I would recommend it

I totally recomend this school I am a graduate of Memorial and have to say that I found a family there amongs the teachers and administrative staff. I particularly want to thank the Atletic Director Sal Vega, who many times would see me and talk to me about givint it my all and would share stories about how he overcame adversity while he was brand new in this Country and still found the courage to excell in sports. I am grateful to many many people there. I felt save and now proud to be part of Memorial HS. I graduated in 2002.

Hi my name is Jonathan Arroyave class of 2008, currently serving in the United States Navy, and striving for a degree in nursing, hopefully anybody who reads this passage takes it into consideration. Memorial High School was like a second home to me all the teachers and staff were very respectful the curriculum is amazing. There are some teachers i would like to thank who i know are very passionate of their job such as Both zelenkas.and Ms stegman very motivated into showing their students about science and serving also as role models, They always tried to expand their teaching into field trips and such things like gardening which helped the students to understand the material better, Also Mrs Hessthorn and Mr Alesandro whom i considered to be like my second paretns they were always there for me, they always knew what to say i dont know what i would have done after high school if it wasnt for them. There couldnt a set of great teachers without a fantastic foundation which is what Memorial High School holds I would like to thank all those who helped me believe in myself THANK YOU.
