As a incoming senior I can say that McMahon is a welcoming school to all genders,races,sexual orientation,disability and social class.McMahon is very diverse and when you walk the halls you can see a glimpse into many multicultural friend groups.We have lots of programs such as best buddies which encourages students to help out their fellow peers with disabilities.Teachers are always welcoming and cracking jokes with students.We often have spirit week and other activities to engage and bring all the students together as one.We have a great medical program in my opinion as I hope to become a RN in the near future.Im apart of the biomed program which consists of four full year classes where you learn different things about the body.I was lucky enough to go to our local community college and learn about the different medical programs they offer and learned about them for two hours every Friday. My school thrives on students safety, and happiness and I can say they are doing a good job.
My overall experience for the 4 years I have been in Brien McMahon High School has been pretty great. I’ve made a lot of long-lasting friendships, I’ve met amazing people such as staff, teachers and administrators. I’ve grown in many ways socially, academically, and emotionally. I like that my school involves everyone, and makes everyone feel included. We have such a diverse community which I also love because we have equal representation. I love that everyone there wants to see you succeed and to become the best version of yourself, and really strives academic growth for the students.
The response to COVID-19 has been great and efficient! Overall, the hybrid schooling system has proven to be beneficial for students. The school does need to look at better school spirit. The academic opportunities and pathways are beneficial experiences that aid in shaping a career-minded student, with dedicated teachers to help along the way.
