My daughter was in the first graduatin class of Lakeside, it was a horrible experience. My two younger were transferred to Temescal and we are much happier. The staff are much more helpful, not demeaning to kids and in my opinion truly care about the kids. The staff at Lakeside seem to hate their jobs and take it out on the kids. Temescal's great.

I graduated from TCHS in 2006 and I would loved every moment at that school. The teachers are excellent, great Ap program, sports are good, lots of extracurricular activities, etc. I would not say it is the perfect school nor do I understand what that is but I do know i received a solid education there. Doc Harris, Cari Strange, Christina Lofquist, the Williams, are some of the best teachers i have ever had. I am a student at UCLA and after hearing a lot about other districts, I realize how fortunate I am to receive a diploma from Temescal. TCHS is a great school especially when you take advantage of all there is to offer.

It's like crossing the border. The principal is a really good guy, and thats about the only good thing about school. I cant wait to graduate!!!! Don't send your kids here, they will hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Principal Garnett is doing the best he can. The district budget cuts are getting outrageous!!! i would not reccomend this school.

We sent seven of our kids here and all participated in sports at some level be it soccer, football, cross country, track or golf and all graduated. Every one of them enjoyed the experience, and every one of them got a fair portion in return for the amount of effort they individually put forth. As for parent participation, I don't know of any teacher, coach or administrator who wouldn't be more effective with some support. We've never visited 'the perfect campus,' but we're proud of our association with Temescal Canyon.

I am a Senior this year, and must say, after three years completed already, I can't wait to get the heck out of here. The new principal is a pretty cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything, and the Senior Class councilor is a helpful person. However, the student body is less than great. In fact, they're the entire reason I hate going here. Freshmen are antagonized by teachers and upperclassmen alike. Seniors are all arrogant fools who are given glorifying occasions like the 'Senior Walk-in', a heretical display of a mindset that Seniors are, for some reason, above the rest of the students and that 'Freshman Suck', a common chant at all pep-rallies. Such actions are not to be condoned, especially in public school. Heresy.

My son is a senior this year and is involved in Track/Football. The new football coach has been a 'Great Addition' with fresh ideas. The most impressive of his new ideas is that he is very fair and as a result many more students are joining the football team. The new Principal is 'Awesome' another great addition. I wish this wasn't my sons last year. He is going to have many 'Great' memories.

There are good and bad teachers! You just have to do your homework on which teachers everyone recommends. Athletic programs are amazing, had fun when I went there and the English courses I took at TCHS have helped me with major advantages.
