Fresno High School

I recently came to Fresno High to help out with a graduation of a nursing program. To start off, I parked in front of the library because I couldn’t find a parking lot for the visitors. Then I couldn’t find a way inside because all of the gates were locked. What was funny, is that I went to the administration office to ask how to get through the gates so I could enter the auditorium… and they sent me right through the office doors to the campus, with no hassle.
For the school being 125 years old, the older buildings are kept in splendid condition. When I steped into the auditorium, I felt like I stepped back in time. Much of the original architecture is visible and vibrant. The school maintenance were very helpful in arranging tools and items needed for the ceremony. The staff were very pleasant. I didn’t notice any uncleanliness or unkept fixtures, seats, or floors. The restrooms were stocked and clean, and the trophy cases are dusted.
I would be proud to be a part of any ceremony held here.

Love this school!!! The staff, faculty, and students are all nice and have a certain level of respect for each other. The IB program is vigorous, but also will pay off in the end.

i was just working here. so not much to review about besides the actual buildings them self were amazing! ive never seen a high school like that before. it looked like a collage!

Decent size high school. Some staff is rude.

very pretty on the outside.

Ok, so we didn’t have the best sports team… BUT the educators rock! I graduated 11 years ago, and always hear horrible things. Wake up Fresno (and Clovis) this school is no different than the others. It’s just easier to pick on a school with a bad rep. Any school is what one makes it. With educators, students, and parents working together, a positive experience will be had.
I found the teachers to be engaged and sincere. I still see my old principal sometimes (Hey Mr. Marinovich)! He always took the time to get to know his students. After all this time, he still remembers me by name.
Bottom line, parents and students have to be involved.
There are bad eggs wherever you go in life — part of maturing and growing up is knowing how to live your life despite the bad eggs.

I honestly do not know why Fresno High gets such a bad rap.
I transferred there from a Clovis school my sophomore year and I was TERRIFIED by all of the horror stories I’d heard.
I am now in my senior year and I have seen none of the things that the rumors say happen here. The teachers are all very good [save for a few new ones] and the entire school is pretty laid back. I enjoy the fact that the dress code is minimal, and that cell phones and such are allowed on campus, because it puts all of the students at ease.
There are occasionally fights, but there are fights at every school in the state, I am sure. I saw worse ones at Clovis East than Fresno high.
The classroom environment is productive, and the passing rate is fairly good for a public school. Fresno High is also conveniently located right next to Fresno City so when I do graduate, I’ll only be changing my route by a few blocks to go to college.
