Herbert Hoover High School
I'm in a clubs and "sports" and I am a shy person no one barly ever talks to me and ditches me for other people who are more "fun". Although I point out that, I will say that the teachers are great, they're friendly, have a sence of humour, and want you to learn because they know just how great you can be if you try and they are ALWAYS encouraging.

"i think Hoover high is a good school. i especially love how there putting their foot down and trying to control the students in a positive way. for example, the tarty swipe, i don't see students running around in the halls, ditching class, i hear nothing its quiet. i love it and i am a senior here and i am impressed on what our school has become. Hoover pates!!!!!!!!!2010"
