They taught me hard work, compassion and kindness and I thank them for that everyday.” - Matthew Perkey “I’ll miss being able to have people to guide me when I felt lost.” - Brenda Pacheco “I’ll miss the experience of growing up with all of my friends.” - Jason Guevara “I’ll miss the comfort of high school most. Knowing who everyone is and where everything is. I think that is something I forgot to appreciate while I was here.” - Margaret Peterson “I’ll miss the friday night lights, going to In-N-Out after football or basketball games, and spending time with my friends.” - Daniel Mosarah “I’ll miss the people I met here. From my best friends and favorite teachers to the clubs and groups I’ve become a part of; I will never forget the people I’ve come to know here at MoHi or how they’ve impacted my life.”- Jack Ford “I’ll miss the teachers that reached out to me at my lowest.
