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.

The best part is the learning environment. The worst part is some of the rules in next semester. I would like to see some parts of the high school get renovated.
