The school is very set on making sure that everyone of their students is ready for life in college and beyond. My school offers many opportunities with a variety of clubs and electives. Need extra help? then you can simply schedule into a teachers class during one of our weekly ENR sessions. These sessions take place everyday after 2nd period,for about 30 minutes. They are a great way to get extra help when needed. This is just one of the many things our school offers in order for MHS students to thrive. I always feel safe when going to school knowing that our school takes many precautions and has every intention of keeping its students safe. The teachers are amazing, we have many that have enough schooling to get a job somewhere else were they would get paid 10x then what they are being paid now. With overqualified teachers,friendly staff, and an abundance of opportunities. I can't complain about my experience at MHS.
I appreciate my PIER teachers and administrators. They helped me to be successful. I enjoyed my science classes and science teachers. Our school has lots of elective class choices. There are a wide variety of math and science classes. I enjoyed my Project Lead The Way classes. The teachers are helpful. They want us to succeed. We have numerous clubs, speech, drama, band, and sports to be involved in. The PIER group is a very good addition to the high school. It is a great way for students that are missing credits, or need to make up credits, to be able to be successful and graduate. I would not have been able to get back to school, get caught up, and graduate without of the help of the administrators and the teachers in the PIER group.
Marshalltown High School is a nice school to attend. Within my first year there I have been able to participate in many different activities. I enjoy swimming, dance, band, orchestra, and extended learning programs. I have been involved in all of these programs since I started high school in August 2017. I plan to go out for soccer in the spring. These activities have given me the opportunity to get to know many new people and use my talents to help others. I have also had the opportunity to take a college class and advanced classes at MHS. Taking these classes help me to explore the many careers that I am thinking about in the future. I look forward to the remaining 3 1/2 years that I have left at MHS. I will continue to explore opportunities that I have available at MHS. I feel that I will be more than ready to go out into the world prepared for college and my future.
