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.
I feel extremely blessed to be able to call this school my own. The staff members are caring, respectful, empathetic, and trustworthy. Throughout the whole pandemic, every single one of my teachers have done everything in their power for their students to succeed in class. I feel like I am challenged with the coursework in my classes, but not overwhelmed. Maize South provides endless opportunities with so many classes in every career pathway. I genuinely feel like every year Maize South High School is doing something to make the student's lives a little better. This include providing healthier lunch options for free, creating a space in the counselors office to relax or cool down, and ensuring that every student has meaningful contact everyday throughout the pandemic. Overall, I feel like Maize South High School is an excellent fit for any high schooler.
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.
