My daughter is a sophomore at this wonderful school. It is very small and nurturing, with a strong…read moreacademic program and a new principal who is absolutely outstanding. The spirit of the Felician Sisters is still very present at Pomona Catholic. Look beyond the transitional neighborhood and consider this for your high school daughter if you want a strongly Christian, values-based education for her. We love PC! http://www.pomonacatholic.org/

I attended Pomona Catholic from 1976-1980. Jimmy Carter was president during my entire high school…read moreyears. Attending a Catholic school in the 1970's was far different from today and I wish students today could experience the more creative, humanistic approach that was at PC in those days. Of course they were strict about certain things like the length of your skirt, but in the 1970's it was common to have class discussions about controversial topics. My Modern World Religions teacher was Ms. Bolle and she brought in a Christian pastor and someone from the Hare Khrishna sect and they debated and it was very eye-opening. My Freshman reading teacher was Ms. Angel Curtiss who was on loan to us from the public schools (I guess you could do that in those days) In one semester I read two Studs Terkel books (Working and Division Street America), Johnny Got His Gun and the Autobiography of Malcolm X. That class had the most impact on my life. Unfortunately, a few years back I tried to contact Ms. Curtiss to let her know the impact she had on my life but she had been killed in a car accident somewhere in the southern US along with her daughter a few years prior. Students, don't wait too long to let your teachers know how much you appreciate them. In my regular English classes we read many classics. I had Mrs. Morrison for many of my English courses. Ms. Stith was my freshman English teacher and we learned how to write a research paper which at the time was very difficult for me. I didn't do well in her class, however I would like her to know that what I learned about research in her class helped me in college later on. I had a great government teacher, Mrs. Kennedy. My freshman Social and Moral Guidance teacher, Rory Devine, later become a reporter for one of the networks in Los Angeles. Math and Science had the weakest teachers. Back in the day we only had to take pre algebra and geometry to graduate. I do think we were sort of tracked since no one ever mentioned college to me. However, I attended community college and some years later a four year college. We had Driver's Ed in the 10th grade. Mrs Phillips, one of the PE teachers taught the classroom part where we saw scary films like "Red Asphalt." That made me a safe driver. I also always remember her telling us to "leave yourself an out. Don't get blocked in on the freeway." Our behind the wheel instructor was a former marine with a buzz cut, gray suit and sunglasses who never smiled. There were two wheels in the car and he had control of one. Parallel parking was the hardest. The Tuttles were a married couple who everyone loved and I know Mr. Tuttle taught history, drama and consumer economics. I can't remember what Mrs. Tuttle taught. I remember he was trying to organize us to do a play but all of us girls were fighting so he made us sit down, gave us a talking to and had us listen to a Paul Mc Cartney and Wings song, "With a Little Luck." They later moved on to teach public school in I think Temecula. Every year we had this group come in and they set up big screens and played Styx songs. The videos were about values and doing the right thing. When we had mass at PC, they played modern type music. I appreciated that PC was a safe environment. The drug culture was in full swing so there were a lot of programs aimed at curtailing drug use due to American kids dying from tainted drugs. We also had a short program on becoming an emancipated minor. It was the 70's, what can I say. Some students also published an underground newspaper. I still have a copy somewhere. The student writers renamed the school "Prison Camp" and bitterly complained about the ugly uniforms! I wish kids today could get some of the education and experiences we got in that era. Things today are too censored and curriculum is watered down. Teachers don't have the same control of curriculum that they had in past eras. I wouldn't trade my 70's education for anything. Maybe a little project could be for today's PC kids to go back into the old yearbooks and do a compare and contrast evaluation of education.

Pomona High school is probably the worst school I have ever been to , probably at a tie with The…read moreSchool of Arts and Enterprise . The principal Mr. Fasting and the dean of students , Ms. Solorazano or however her name is spelt , are disrespectful and they pick favorites and are also racist . Multiple times I was suspended for things , such as a verbal altercation and talking in the hallway . I wouldn't recommend enrolling your child in this school , and also the school is simply too big for them to pay attention to all of the kids and when they do pay attention to the kids , they tear them down , they talk to them in a way , they talk down to them and it's not a good feeling and in my opinion you should have never got a job working with students if you're just going to suspend them for the little things . And make them feel worse than they probably already so . I don't think keeping someone home will make a person learn to go to class , and as a student at Pomona High that has went through all of this , it doesn't feel nice and nobody should ever go through it . And I'm not gonna rate this school because they don't have a 0 star , just kidding . It won't let me submit this until I rate it so you get one star . And this campus is super dirty and has rodents .
