At Maize South High School, I have been graciously granted with several new and unique opportunities unlike other high schools. At MSHS starting as a sophomore, college credit is offered. This is very convenient because it allows students to rack up many hours of college credit, so they can spend less in college! At the end of the 2017 school year, we started "Mavtime" which allows students to roam the halls during what should be study time, if their grades are up to par. If the grades are not met, the student must go to that designated teacher until further notice. Mavtime has given students the freedom and a break from standardized school days; it is outstanding.
Almost all of the teachers that I have studied under have been an absolute blessing! The teachers are generally very positive and passionate when it comes to teaching and aiding the mental and emotional growth of their students! Maize South High School does a great job of rewarding those who thrive academically and/or athletically. There are so many great courses and extracurricular activities to enroll in, making it very easy to find your chosen path of study or get involved in the school community. Unfortunately, they don’t always take cases of bullying seriously, but I have seen small improvements made in this department. Hopefully things will keep on improving, making the school a more comfortable and pleasing environment to learn in. In general, it truly is a fantastic school.
I moved to Maize South High School my freshman year of High School and it was terrifying going from a class of 60 kids to a class of 200 or more. However, teachers and faculty were very welcoming and helped me through everything and I made some friends along the way! Their music department brings kids from everything club and sport together and makes an amazing family. Teachers at MSHS make sure to help you without giving you the final answer. My missing star comes from individual teachers and coaches who aren’t the best at the school, and some administrators that miss some opportunities to help students. Overall, I have loved my high school experience at Maize South High School, and I will cherish every second this upcoming senior year!
