At Mccomb High School, I would like to see a lot of things change. For one the administration, the administration is not good at all. The school does not prepare their students for college. They say we are taking CCR (college career readiness) classes, but that is not true.

I liked the school, but I did not like the staff. They did not listen to the students when it came down to their concerns. It took outraged parents to intervene for a change to happen. They need more staff members who will actually care about the students, and take their needs, concerns, and problems seriously.

At Mccomb High School a lot has to change, starting with the administration. The school is an okay school, some teachers are good and some are not.
