My daughter has been motivated and determined to go to college and have a successful carrier. I m proud of the effort she has demonstrated by getting good grades, going beyond the minimum expected and of her genuine desire to do the absolute best she can in school. I have to give her the majority of the credit, but I also must say that I don t think that desire to be successful would have remained within her without the motivation and inspiration provided by the dedicated teachers at Calaveras High School. Victor Machado.
I graduated from chs. Played 4 years of football under the greatest coach in program history. Won 3 straight league championships. 1 at the JV level and two at the varsity level. Calaveras is an all around good school but if you want to excel at this school, fit in, and get good grades you gotta play sports. All in all this is a football/wrestling school. If your kid has talent in either then send them here, Calaveras has better facilities than some private schools. The program has access to a local gym as well as an on campus weight room. The team has a physical therapist that is on the field every friday, even at away games. Kid gets hurt playing ball? He's at the PT's office the next day, or same day...
Calaveras is unique in it's rural setting. Many, at first glance, stereotype the learning capacity of the students attending, much as I did as an incoming frehsman. I was proved wrong. Throughout Calaveras I enrolled in 5 AP programs and ended up passing all the tests with no problems. I participated in performing arts programs as well as athletics and graduated as a class valedictorian. I made many great lasting relationships with friends and teachers. Upon graduation I was accedpted to all colleges I applied to (including 3 UC campuses) and I feel aptly prepared to brach out and discover the world. Calaveras offers as much as any other high school could and perhaps more. While I was enrolled I learned so much about myself which is, perhaps, the best part of my time at Calaveras.
