At Mount Pleasant High-school, my experience has been fairly positive. There are many opportunities and options career wise. Yet, the faculty can be very varied. Some teachers can be excellent at what they do and have amazing dispositions, but a good amount of them have little teaching skill and negative dispositions.

At Mount Pleasant High School, I have had a lot of up and downs but for the most part this has been the most supportive and welcoming school I've encountered. My junior year was very rough with the surgeries and procedures I had done but when I came back to school everyone was so helpful and understanding. I really appreciated the kindness after my procedures because the surgeries were a hard bump in the road for me.

Over my four years here at Mount Pleasant High School, it has been nothing short of amazing. From the teachers, to the brand new facilities we are so blessed to have, every bit of MPHS is awesome. I love the way that even though we are a 5a school everyone feels like family. We all support each other in everything we set out to do and it creates an environment and atmosphere that is enjoyable and that I don't dread being apart of. Our teachers give us all the tools we need to be sucessful not only here at school but out in the real world and I am forever greateful for them. They push us to be our best at everything we do and it is very encouraging to know that we have people that belive in us. Our admin attending every event our school puts on even when it's not asked of them because they want to support us in all of our endeavors. My peers are supportive of eachother, we attend eachothers events, we help eachother when needed and it's so amazing to know we have eachothers backs.
