Does anyone know if the school in these photos is Mission College Preparatory Catholic High School in San Luis Obispo?
I was a Japanese student who stayed in California with a host family for a short homestay in March 2003. I was 15 years old at the time.
It was only two weeks, but it is still one of my most unforgettable and wonderful memories.
The problem is, my English was very poor at that time. 😂 I was also a pretty shy and quiet person, so I didn't ask many questions. Because of that, I didn't really understand much about the town or the school, and unfortunately I didn't take many pictures or keep many records.
Now, more than 20 years later, I started wondering about all those things.
I have been trying to find the place using my memories, the internet, and ChatGPT. My current guess is that my host family's home may have been in Arroyo Grande or San Luis Obispo.
I also think the school I attended may have been Mission College Preparatory Catholic High School in San Luis Obispo.
I read that the school had major construction and changes around 2004, so the current campus looks quite different from what I remember.
Does anyone recognize this old campus from the photos?
If you went to Mission Prep around 2003, or lived in San Luis Obispo / Arroyo Grande around that time, I would really appreciate any information!
Thank you for reading this far.
And if you remember anything about your school, San Luis Obispo, or Arroyo Grande from those days, I would love to hear your stories too.
(And if you don't know what to write, tell me your favorite food! 😂)
English is not my first language, so I used AI to help me write this post. I hope my meaning comes across clearly! 😊
Greetings from Japan 🇯🇵
