Redwood High School
Margarita Baez: I attended this High School, and I can tell you that my experience here was like no other. I was one of the few lucky students who was rescued from dropping out of High School, thanks to Redwood High School Faculty and Staff members I know hold a High School Diploma. I am proud to say that I am an Alumni of Redwood High School, and soon I will be an Alumni of San Jose State University- 2012!! Will earn my Bacherlors of Arts in Pscyhology... Redwood rocks!
