I worked here on a temporary assignment. This is a very good school. Leadership is very strong. There is alot structure and discipline in regards to staff and students. There are also many extracurricular activities such as soccer, mariachi class, and a few more. The sense of community is very strong here. I have worked at other schools and this is by far the greatest school that i have worked in. The only con is that the classes are large, but because there is alot of organization and structure, it is not a problem.

In respond to the teacher who works at Calmeca and loves it. Posted March 16, 2014. This is my first time writing a comment here and I would like to add that I am a teacher who was let go. I always felt that the teachers at Calmeca were excellent educators and co-workers. The friendship and willingness to help each other was what made Calmeca great. However, after having read your post I'm beginning to think that I was wrong. Unlike you, I did work on Saturdays and after school for Mrs. Garcia. I'm happy to hear you are getting paid for math night, multicultural night, special assemblies, numerous afterschool meetings, to name a few. I worked all those without pay. I'm very happy for you that your experience has been nothing but great. However, I knew more than one teacher who was extremely stressed out by the ridiculous demands of the principal. I remember when she assigned committees to execute tasks meant for administration such as figuring out everyone's schedules. Once again, I'm very happy for you. You are one of very few who has had that experience. I'm sure you are one of here favorites but remember that no one is indispensable in this world. Best of luck!

In my case my teachers are not my teachers , my principles or not my principles , my staff are not my staff. The reason I say that they are not my teachers or principles or my staff it is because I don't see them as their titles they earn by their education but. As a family member because they care for me beside them showing me new stuff in school they take time tot help me and other with our personal problems . All so they all way their for me even if your a formal student like my self . They always welcoming and loving. That why they not my teacher nor principles nor staff they are my second family so who ever is saying bad stuff about this school it's fine that what you think and I respect that but don't be angry because you don't work their but if you don't work their or you where layed off and your mad and saying bad stuff it means your hurting because you can't be their and work their because you know it's an wonderful school and they said bye to you so don't act like a child and talk stuff just be bigger person and stop hateing . So if took the time to write stuff about us .That mean we are in your mind . I love to be part of the calmeca family
