My experience at a student at McPherson high school could not have gone better. The teachers were there for me, they were there for every student (at least from my knowledge they have been) Our counselors want the best for us and will constantly check up on us. The school promotes good relationships with all students, they encourage the students to get involved with the community and get to know the people in it. There are clubs for all sorts of personalities, and classes for everyone as well. The drama department completes plays/musicals every year that always go amazingly. The shop and auto department are always being improved. Our athletics go above and beyond with having 53 state titles. Mcpherson High School (including the entire distric of 418) is the best district in Kansas. We have an outstanding group of children, families, and teacher.
I was very excited to go to McPherson High School! I had made it into a varsity sport as a freshman, I was in the color guard, and was able to join many clubs. The classes were very accommodating to what we were wanting to do with our futures! We have amazing science courses, business classes and accounting classes, and offer auto classes and welding classes for those who wish to do hands on work. Our sports have grown and our school stays united through teamwork and tradition. At every game you go to you hear all of our students and alumni singing our fight song, and as you leave you remember that once you’re a bullpup you’re always a bullpup. “Hail McPherson High School!”
I am a senior at McPherson High School right now and considering that this is the first time the teachers have ever had to teach through a pandemic I think that they have handled it very well and are very understandable about the situation while still holding students to the expected level of involvement and grades. McPherson High school has done a good job of preparing me for my future endeavors and I will be sad to go, but excited for this next step.
