The teachers at Mayfield are all great and care a lot about their job and students. They were the best part and are all knowledgeable and passionate about their work. The worst parts were the food and social engagement. I'd like to see Mayfield High School include more programs for students to meet and network.

During my time at Mayfield, I enjoyed experiencing Mayfield pride. I have been a three-year member of the Pride of Mayfield marching band and have even had chances to be a part of the spring and fall musicals. I truly and absolutely love the experiences I have had at Mayfield High School, from the extracurriculars down to learning and getting to know teachers. I am truly grateful for all the amazing things my school can offer me.

Mayfield has a lot of opportunities for students to get involved within the district with volunteer, athletic, club, and academic opportunities. Some teachers are better than others, but overall most of them are great.
