My son is a sophomore, and we are very pleased so far. Teachers and courses are impressive. All students have sports, music, and club opportunities. A guidance counselor meets with students. All students get an iPad.

In my opinion, Archbishop Mitty High School is one of the top-ranked schools in California. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Our children graduated from school. It has been a positive experience with our affiliation with the school, which led us to establish a music endowment there.
