Mayo High School is a great atmosphere for all students and staff. I currently am a junior at Mayo and I would not choose to be anywhere else but here! The student body comes together for so many different activities and events, and it really shows how big of a relationship we form with one another. There are so many different clubs you are able to join to find a sense of belonging and the support from staff is AMAZING! Teachers are always willing to sit down and meet with you one on one to figure things out, administration is very helpful is all situations and circumstances, and the guidance counselors go so far above and beyond to help you with mental/emotional help, college planning, scheduling problems, and so much more! I am able to choose classes that I think will push me enough as well as pick classes that are fun and engaging. I've also learned so many leadership skills and how to be more communicative with others. I am very happy that my parents sent me to Mayo!
It is generally accepted among the Rochester community that Mayo is the best of the three RPS high schools. School spirit is BIG, and everybody (even staff) goes all out during spirit weeks and at school events. There are many opportunities to get involved inside the school and out, and it is fairly easy to find a club you like or start your own. The variety of the courses offered is alright; there are many science and math classes for those interested in STEM, but not a ton for those wanting to pursue fields in the social sciences outside of those required to graduate. Some of the teachers I've had I know will have an impact on me for the rest of my life, especially those teaching social studies and English! The parking lot could definitely use some renovation, and if you don't park directly next to one of the two exits, you'll be stuck in the lot for 15+ min at the end of the day. Overall, though, I've loved my time here and would recommend.
I have absolutely enjoyed the past four years at Mayo High School. I came from a very small middle school, going into a high school with over 1,000 students, but everyone was so kind and welcoming that I quickly made new friends. There is always something to do at Mayo, whether it be sporting events, clubs and other ways to get involved. I myself was involved in sports, and for a couple of years I was apart of Mayo's volunteering club. If you can't find something that fits your interests, you always have the option to start your own club! Activities at Mayo High School are a great way to make friends, learn new things, and overall improve your high school experience.
