I've been a student at McGehee High School my whole life. As my journey in this school draws to a close I'm faced with the memories of my time there. The teachers are the best part of this school, they all gave me the freedom to be who I am and never made me feel lesser than for not understanding something. The teachers love the students and you can plainly see that. I can't really say a time when the school let me down. I've enjoyed my time at McGehee High school.
