This is the best school in Paducah, in my opinion. It is clean, nicely set up, and very big. There are a lot of club opportunities, and lots of advanced coursework. There are good opportunities for learning foreign language, along with other extracurricular classes. The guidance counselors are amazing and very helpful!
McCracken County High School is overall an excellent school. It has had some leadership issues in the past but with some new administration having been added, I believe things will get on track. The academics offered are excellent and the sports opportunities are awesome! Coaches are the bomb! Some of the teachers could use a boost in their morale, though. Some of their attitudes suck as if they were sulky, angry, moody teenagers. After that being stated, I want to say that opportunities can be many for the kids that walk through these doors, first, as shy, insecure kids and then they leave as self-confident young adults, ready to go conquer the world issues at hand with great hope in their hearts. Whatever the occupation that is chosen, each and every one will have an important place in this world that we live in.
I love this school much that I wish I could spend another four years there. I didn't like my freshman year. I was at a bigger school and had no clear path. Covid-19 hit at the end of my freshman year and changed the way I learned and the way I was going to move forward. Remote learning took the joy out of school for me and I almost quit band. Sophomore year was a blur since the school was still reeling from Covid. Me and I'm sure about every kid in my grade just barely got by and was just going through the motions. My junior year was still partly affected by Covid, but thanks to the schools participation is negating the spread of Covid, my junior year was most normal. It was in my junior year however, that I decided I needed to be more involved in my school's activities. I joined the Mustang Marching Band and had an amazing time. Later that year I auditioned for the school musical and got to be in the ensemble which was also amazing. This school changes you in the best way possible.
