Newcomer High School
I was a student of Newcomer High School back in 1987 and I could not be more proud and glad to be a part of this school. It was located by the Marina district back then. When I first came to Newcomer, I was so excited and overjoyed because of the many backgrounds and the exposure to other nationalities. I was able to learn a little about their culture and personalities, the different faces and smile who came from different parts of the world. There's nothing more exciting than to go to this school. My first English teacher came from England and the other from Mexico. The teachers were also friendly and always helpfull. The teachers realy looked out for their students in every aspects. If I had the chance to continue and graduate in Newcomer instead of regular high school, I would have stayed in Newcomer. It was and still is the best school that I ever experienced. I attended Mission high and City college of San Francisco. I think Newcomer high is no. 1.
