Mckenzie High School has taught me how to be myself and to never let another person determine who I become in life.

I actually moved her the beginning of my senior year. It was the best decision I could have ever made. I'm beyond thankful for the staff and students. They were all so welcoming and for that I will be forever grateful. I would recommend anyone to bring their child here to grow and learn into a great individual.
