Mayo High School is a very advanced school with teaching skills. The overall environment is very welcoming and friendly. The teacher will nine times outta ten do anything that will help advance your knowledge in situations that you are lost on that topic. The staff is very supportive for example we start new clubs that is brought upon by students and their creative ideas. I really love being at Mayo High School. It has cleanly environment for the outside and inside the school. We are very college ready and the administration is welcoming for any questions or giving advice. Overall the school is amazing and I would recommend anyone I talk to or that is interested to this school to apply for all the great benefits that are available for students.

From my 4 years of being at the highschool it was only positivity and good vibes from the jump. Everybody is so nice and help you with anything you need and will not complain about it. The teachers always do everything they can to help a child that's struggling and classmates will also help you if they understand and you do not.
