Rating: (5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
Mt. Miguel recieves a lot of criticism in the news and it is known as Mt. Mighetto by students from other schools and from it's own students as well. This is what I say to that, don't believe what you hear. Mt. Miguel is probably the best school to send your child to, there are teachers who care about not only your education, but your well being. Yes Mt. Miguel does not have the best test scores, or the best sport programs, but that is only because no one knows how great the school and staff actually is. For Example Last Friday I went to watch my friends younger brother play football and I was suprised to see the staff members still remember my name and the names of my closest friends. It's been five years since the last time I saw them and yet they still remembered us.
When I was a student at the Mount the teachers are the ones who made the difference. Their doors where always open and they knew when something was bothering one of us.
Till this day those who graduated from Mt. miguel in the class of 2001 will always have a close bond with each other as well as those from other gradutating years. For those who read this remember this: If a fellow graduate of the Mount calls you seeking a job, give them an interview, pick them up from the airport, invite them for lunch or dinner, we will always be Matadors.
Mount Miguel is the best school around, hands down.
