I had a great experience. My teachers were all very supporting and I found that I excelled throughout the classroom. The only bad part I can remember isn't because of the school itself but because I was injured and couldn't participate in my sport. The athletics was definitely my favorite part because the relationships I made are some that I believe will last a lifetime. I also found success in many championship environments. I have learned many lessons that apply to not just sports but any part of life. I would like to see the school spirit change a bit. I feel like our school lacks school spirit. Our school needs to find better ways to get students involved by getting their opinion on what the spirit days should be so that they actually participate.

Pittsford-Mendon High School has very facilities staff and academics. Overall I had a very positive experience at Mendon with the school being very inclusive to everyone. The staff at Mendon is phenomenal and the education I feel was very good. But I feel that Mendon lack a lot of inclusivity something I feel like is held back by because of its location and demographics.
