It's alright. The students need to try harder. The teachers need to try when they teach instead of blaming everything on us.

Teacher's love their students. That is the only redeeming factor, here.Currently there is a lack of focus on student accountability at the administrative level. Students pretty much run the show here and the administration seems lost on how to deal with it.

Going to MHS was the best thing that happened to me in my teen years. Top notch teachers. Great programs. Technology was above the rest. Many sports to chose from. People give MHS a bad rap b/c it is a city school but I think it's better than the county.
