I was once in this school my name was Angel Nguyen. It was my favorite childhood school!

I am deeply disappointed with the level of professionalism and respect shown by both the staff and the principal. They do not serve as mentors to students, and when a student is struggling, there is a noticeable lack of guidance, recommendations, or support to help them improve. For students enrolled in the 504 program, the assistance provided is inadequate and not delivered in a constructive or meaningful way. Overall, the experience raises serious concerns about whether this is the right environment for a child’s education.

As someone whose family has attended Pasadena Memorial High School for three generations, I’ve witnessed firsthand the dramatic decline in the spirit and integrity of the baseball program. What was once a proud and competitive team built on hard work, coaching, and camaraderie has now become a selective club driven by favoritism and convenience.Today’s coaching staff appears more interested in recruiting players from deer Park, Pearland, select teams or families who contribute financially or volunteer extensively, rather than developing raw talent from within the student body. If a student hasn’t played on a select team or doesn’t have parents actively involved in supporting the program, their chances of making the team are slim—regardless of potential.This approach not only discourages aspiring athletes but undermines the very foundation of high school sports: growth, teamwork, and opportunity. Coaches now prioritize players who already know the game, making minimal effort to teach, mentor, or build team chemistry. The result is a fractured program lacking unity, development, and the competitive edge it once had.The contrast between the early 2000s and today is stark. Back then, coaches invested in their players, cultivated talent, and fostered a winning culture. That commitment is gone. Until the coaching staff returns to the fundamentals of teaching and team-building, the baseball program will continue to fall short—and the trophy hall will remain a relic of what once was.

Great school!! High standards are expected of all children, which make it a safe place to be.... Love it!!
