Mercedes Early College was a great place to go to highschool. With there being a small class and a small amount of staff, it made the school seem very family oriented. As I progressed through highschool, while also earning credits towards my associate's, I was giving the guidance and resources to help me become successful and achieve all my goals. I am grateful for my experiences here and I would like to see this school prosper finacially. The building is old and the campus is in need of an upgrade. To give hope to the future generation of scholars that come out of Mercedes, I feel that this is the place that needs to be around. Without MECA, I would be behind in life and now I can proudly say I am ahead.
I am proud to say that I am a student at Mercedes High School. We receive my trophies and award in sports and music. I am glad that I am part of those accomplishments.
I would like to see a safer school environment. The security guards don't really help monitor the students when administrators aren't around, they just let the students wander the halls. Better meals should also be served; many students have complained about the school food making their stomachs hurt. Counselors should be better trained and should understand and get to know the students more while also giving them space to breathe. Teachers should also stick to teaching and not try to become the students friend like some teachers have.
