A good amount of counselors who are willing to help you through anything. They could use an extra counselor or two to be able to see them more or sooner. Since the school is in a University and College town we've had our share of problems. Our town is slightly bigger leaving us with some in-school problems. We have had a couple of various threats throughout my high school career hear at Mt. Pleasant Senior High School, but outside events followed those.

There were teachers who genuinely cared about their students well-being. But there was also an extremely high rate of bullying that many took a blind eye to.

What I liked the most at mt.pleasant senior high school was the teacher's. The teacher's helped me out with my whole high school experience, they showed me how to get around on time and how to multitask. I would change the policies such as absences/tardies, hallway passes, and how they discipline them for there actions.
