I had a very good experience while attending Mayfield High School. I had several teachers there that worked to prepare me for life after high school. I had the opportunity to serve on the Superintendent's student advisory committee, participate in a variety of clubs, and a variety of sports. The worst part of high school was the lack of experience in more real world settings.

I enjoy the smaller class sizes and thoughtfulness of the teachers. They work hard to help their students grow and become better people beyond the classroom.
