Going to Mt. Pleasant Highschool for my 4 years of high school education it was just alright. There wasn't anything really special about it, it just a bit unsafe, it had nothing to do with the staff, but just with the students. I just hope that the new students really try and get engaged with their school and try to make it better.

I have a very smart student. I feel he is getting a good education and is working hard for his grades. The teachers make it challenging for him and his friends.
