I would love to see the administration take the safety of students more serious. Bullying was a very bad problem in this school. The alternative center, for at risk students is amazing though. Students are treated as adults and with respect there. The teachers at McPherson high school however, are amazing .
Select teachers here are best in state and go above and beyond for their students. Counselors are very caring on your needs and wants after highschool and keep track of your changing interests. Many students are apathetic and just want to do their classes and get out, but those that are involved are in a large variety of activities oftentimes. Too much money goes to sports, but LEGENDARY teachers in Choir, Theatre, and Speech/Debate classes make up for it. Overall a great school if you get yourself involved and choose the right teachers, because the school will give you all the tools to be successful after highschool, you just have to utilize them yourself.
