Mayo High School is a very welcoming and spirited school in the Rochester district. It has a lot of different opportunities for students looking to fit in to the new school environment. There are a lot of clubs and sports available to every kind of student. However, the issue of bullying should be further addressed. I know a lot of incidents of kids feeling left out because of the way they are and I think they should work to fix that!
I really enjoyed the friends I made and the rigorous coursework in the honors classes. My teachers were all very kind and most were very good teachers. I think that something they could improve on is the connection between the administration and the students. I believe that the teachers are very good at this but the administration didn’t seem to be part of the students life and didn’t help get student prepared for their future. They didn’t promote different option other than college such as trade school or vocational school or the military. They left the student figure out these options by themselves. I think they focused more on the student present education and not their future in education. Overall, they had a good spirit and comradery throughout the school but need to work on communicating between counselors and students.
I have had a great experience with many of my teachers, however our administration seems to struggle with pride and listening to students. Our administration is hesitant to have our school community take responsibility of issues we have. Additionally, in the past year our students have been very passionate about certain issues that disagree with administrative plans, such as dissolving a beloved class. In these cases, three specifically I can think of in the past year, our administration was not only dismissive of both teachers, parents, and students that respectively brought up counterpoints and created a petition (with over 3,000 signatures), they also have no reasoning as to why they would not reconsider.
