The best part of my experience at Mitchell high school is how the consoler's will help you find programs to help you in collage readiness. My worst experience at Mitchell high school is this is in Memphis, which mean it's a lot of hood culture over here.

The best part about Mitchell high is the teachers, they help students learn not only about school work but life as well. I didn't have any bad experiences until I changed my friends but other then that everything was exciting. The only change would be I'd for more advanced classes and more extra programs.
