I love HSHMC. Their education system is based on ideals of allowing students the true opportunity to learn instead of just memorizing for a grade, through supporting and guiding students to stay on the path to success, all while administering vital collegiate credits to help with tuition payments in the future. Because of the teachers, staff and students combined, I believe in a bigger and brighter future.

I feel like here I have the opportunity many students don’t have. It’s very welcoming…it feels like a safe environment for me to be myself. I have enjoyed my four years here and I’m sad to say that I’m leaving, but excited to see what the future holds.

– Eric Perez | Class of ‘16

This is the best school in the universe because there’s so much opportunity and you choose what you want to do. I want to become a heart surgeon. They’re always there to help you out no matter what. The environment here is very safe.
