Marina High School
5
m.haupt: My son attends this school and is very happy there with many friends. Compared to other high schools on the Monterey Peninsula MHS smaller in student body numbers which is a plus. I would rate it as a safe school with good support from teachers and staff that have a good handle on the student body behavior. The sports teams are not stellar, but for me this is the least of a reason to choose a high school.
