It has a great music and quire program. There's many teachers who care about your success, though the superintendents and board seem a bit unfitting. What would be great for this school is adding field trips or more events during school hours, and also restoring weekly prep rallys.

Mena Highschool has been quite the experience for me. It is highly focused on sports, which I do not participate in. The arts programs are my favorite things to plbe involved in. I have found myself participating in school plays and accepted into the honor choir. This a school that many people could enjoy. The teachers are friendly and do their best to help in any way they can. We try to stay involved in the community and build a family with our peers.

Attending mena high school was an eye opening experiance. The faculty and staff genuinely cared about the wellbeing of the students, and how they treated each other. The administration, however, did not. They instated rules that were a detriment to learning and cumbersome to the advanced placement students. The academic rigor and effort of such was not appreciated.
