There is no school team or any sports at my school, there is a soccer field for kids to play soccer during lunch. School spirit isn't very high but likewise I am still looking forward to graduating and senior activities.

Mark Twain High School is a school where people go when they need to get their credits, some people leave some stay. My expierience at this school has been unique and helps me focus because it is a smaller class setting so i can get more help from my teacher and can focus more in class and get good grades. I don't regret doing anythin gin my life because it wouldn't make me the person that I am today so I am grateful for this school.

the most popular "club" to join is the ASB. But that is pretty much the only club to join since this campus is pretty small. i attend the Morse Twain campus. The ASB members recieve full community service hours. most of the members stay commited. The teacher in charge would not hesitate to put her members in probation if their grades are not in check.

Twain High is a great option for some students. My child is getting straight A's at Mark Twain and has really turned things around. Everyone at this school really cares about the students and they don't give up on them. They have compassionate, kind and gifted educators, counselor and staff. I am so...
