I liked the overall environment of John Mall. It was a very fun experience being able to attend for my last two years of high school. I only wished that they had been more aggressive academically.

My experience at John Mall was memorable and my years went by fast. What I like about John Mall is the weightroom. Also I like the wrestling program at John Mall. What I like to see change is the behavior of the kids that like to mess around and don't like to there academics.

My overall four years with John Mall Highschool has been great, we are a smaller school so it is easier to connect with the students and become close with your teachers. You have that chance to get one one help from your teachers. If I could change anything it would be the activities our students could get involved in. Our students need more activities they could sign up for wether that is in school activities or outside.

lack of discipline and learning. The students control the school, and all they care about is sports. Great music program, and drama productions.
