I've been at MBS since middle school and although it's been a rocky road, I definitely wouldn't have chosen a different high school. I've become more involved with my peers as well as clubs and activities recently. I also love to see how the diversity is improving every year. When I was a freshman there were only about 7-8 black students, now there is maybe 20 in todays freshman class a which is a major improvement.
