I had an excellent time at MSHS, I had made tons of friends and school events were awesome and plentiful. The career paths that they offered prepared me in ways I hadn't even thought about, and I cannot thank my teachers enough for that. I'm glad that I had such a good high school experience, I know that not many people get to have what I got.

The teachers, and staff are extremally nice and open minded. I was very involved in FFA and some work that I'd miss my teachers would excuse my work.

I liked all of my science teachers. But there could be an improvement in the mathematics department. There also could be an improvement in facilities available during lunch. In the spring ot gets very hot and there is very limited shade and in the winter/fall it rains and there aren't too many places open for the students.
