I've been at Morton for a good while and the time I have spent there really makes you realize how it came too. There been lots of new odd experiences due to being a small town school. It's like a roller coaster everyday you go to school you don't really expect to know what is going to happen that week.

I graduated from Morton High School in 2021. My experience throughout my high school years 9-12th was good. I got to achieved my goals with the help of my teachers and staff. Morton High School is a decent school that showed me how hard things can be if no effort is put in. Although In my opinion the changes that I believed that should be made is to make school more fun and not only pure work. I believe the school spirit should be brought back along with many others activities and clubs to keep its tradition going. Other than that, MHS showed me good education.
