The counsellors have always been helpful and respectful of each of our kids unique situations. All the teachers thru out each year have been very supportive with us and always had great communication with us for each child's needs. They didn't make many concessions because the kids situation, but helped us help each student to do the very best they could. That was and is our policy. We ask each kid to do their personal best no matter the outcome. We can proudly say that with the help of staff and teachers we successfully helped 42 kids since 2001. Can't say enough good things about this high school.

My experience with El Capitan High School has been extremely disappointing, primarily due to poor…read morecommunication and unprofessional behavior from the front office, with the exception of one staff member. For months, I attempted to communicate regarding my son by emailing, calling, and leaving voicemails. Over that entire period, I was only able to speak with three people. The lack of response and follow-through ultimately led me to withdraw my son and place him in a private academy due to ongoing communication failures. Even the withdrawal process was unnecessarily difficult. I recently came down with the flu and was very sick, yet I was still trying to get clear and consistent information because I was being told different things by different staff members. Today, I spoke with Danielle, who stated she is the assistant to the vice principal. I was calling to ask about obtaining transcripts and a withdrawal form, which are required for my son's transfer. Earlier in the day, I was told accommodations might be made, so I waited several hours for an update before calling back. When I explained that I was sick with the flu and asked if the process could be accommodated without coming in person, Danielle became dismissive, developed an attitude, and then abruptly hung up on me, stating, "You know what, I'm not doing this," before disconnecting the call. Because she hung up on me, I immediately went to the school in person--while sick--potentially exposing others to the flu, simply to get answers. When I addressed the issue in person, I explained that it's not just what is said, but how it's said. The environment in the front office felt rude and unwelcoming, again with very few exceptions. One staff member did apologize on Danielle's behalf, which I appreciated. To be clear: even if there were frustration regarding my son--which there shouldn't be--respect is non-negotiable. Respect begets respect. Parents should not have to advocate for basic empathy, compassion, or clear communication. Had there been respectful and straightforward communication from the beginning, this entire situation could have been avoided. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at El Capitan High School

We feel incredibly grateful to be part of such a warm, welcoming, and enriching school community…read more From the very beginning, our family has felt supported not just academically, but personally as well. The teachers and staff truly go above and beyond to create an environment where each child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to grow. We currently have three children at the school, and each of them has had such a positive and unique experience. The balance between strong academics and character development is something we deeply appreciate. It's clear that the school is focused on nurturing the whole child, building confidence, kindness, and a genuine love for learning. One of the highlights for our family has been the musical program. Our daughters have been involved in the school musical, and it has been such a meaningful experience for them. Not only have they grown in confidence and creativity, but they've also formed friendships across different grade levels, which has been so special to see. The sense of community that comes from these programs is truly something unique. We couldn't be happier with our experience and feel lucky every day to be part of this amazing school. It's a place where children are encouraged to thrive, friendships flourish, and families feel genuinely connected.

My daughter has been attending MHA middle school since 6th grade. I will say the first two years we…read morewere not that happy with a lot of the staff, the non disciplinary action of other students that would misbehave and have no consequences. Even the inside of the middle school was a disappointment because there were no walls separating the different classrooms. Fast forward to present day, my daughter is in 8th grade and I am so sad she is now leaving MHA to go off to high school. Mrs Robertson is now the director at the middle school, there have been major staff changes, they even spent all summer redoing the entire inside of the school! There are walls, student lounge areas, amazing new staff, Mrs Robertson's office is right there so she can oversee everything, and there is even a counselor that comes once a week that will meet with any student or parent that might have any issues or concerns that they want to discuss, they have monthly meetings with the entire middle school about mental health as well. My daughter is thriving and loving school! We feel so confident and comfortable with her there. We love the new/returning staff, new programs, building updates, etc. I wish they had an MHA high school!! We have a younger daughter that will be at the middle school next year and we are so happy that she will be at MHA. She has some learning disabilities and the staff has been so accommodating to her. We really appreciate all the positive changes that MHA has made for this school year. Not only are the students more happy this year, you can tell the staff are excited to be there as well. Thank you MHA!!

This school has shown a pattern of behavior that makes many students feel unwelcome and unfairly…read moretreated. Numerous students and staff have expressed that the administration often behaves disrespectfully and dismissively, especially toward members of the Chaldean community. Many Chaldean students at Valhalla feel that they are spoken to with unnecessary aggression, singled out for minor issues, and treated with less patience and understanding compared to others. This creates an environment where students feel targeted rather than supported, and it damages trust between the administration and the communities they are supposed to serve. Students deserve to feel safe, respected, and valued no matter their background and many feel that isn't happening here. Many teachers are very racist towards students as well always making Chaldean comments. This treatment towards the Chaldean students needs to stop. No other student gets treated as horrible as the Chaldean students at Valhalla High School.

This addition is a well-needed, state of the art events and physical education building, long overdue for the students and faculty. This building boasts over 21,000 square feet that brings together the performing arts and physical education. This connection is developed through the Hall of Fame, which physically connects the two groups. In addition to showcasing the School's rich heritage, the Hall of Fame area acts as a meeting space during events. The project also includes boys and girls locker room, coaches' offices, sports team rooms, restrooms and showers, wrestling rooms, dance room, trainer's room, and multi-use event space with telescoping theatre seating. It was incredibly endearing to see current and former staff taking pride in their campus' accomplishment, honoring the fact that they will be Sultans forever. Like most, I remember my former high school well. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Santana is my alma mater (class of 2002) and the place where I met my husband, Brandon. (Although we are proud Wolfpack parents of our son Noah over at West Hills!)
