Overall, I have had a positive experience with Mulberry High School. I transferred to this school halfway through my Freshman year and the transition was very easy. I love the wide variety of extracurriculars offered here.

Out of all of my years in high school, I have had no complaints about this school. I have had an excellent time here with the staff and with my peers. We have many amazing programs within the school. The resources that we have here as well are great. We have a lot of connections to people that are involved in trade as well as military service and overall, the school is everything that someone can ask for in a high school.

My experience at Mulberry Senior High school has always been a good one I've had the support of many teachers that have helped me reach my goals as well as others students to challenge me which I think is important, because it keep me going and working to be the best I can be. The administrators work hard to cultivate an atmosphere dedicated to learning. I have really appreciated the years I've spent at Mulberry.

MHS is so disorganized! I have never seen anything like it. My kids are so unhappy with the level of education they are receiving. There are very few teachers in the school that actually care about teaching. The rest are just there along with the other staff. If students are needing to go to the gui...
