I wish there were more options for classes to take, we have a limited amount of AP classes offered. The teachers are okay, most seem to care about the students. We have a program called CEO offered to kids in our county that we receive two school credits for, I'm going to be attending it this year and I'm very excited.

My overall experience at Macomb High has been fairly good. I have made many amazing friends and become a part of numerous activities. I have a lot of fun at school sporting events. Overall, my teachers have been fairly decent, with a few exceptions.
