These past 4 years at Menchville High School have been the best years of my life. I’ve met my closest friends, seen myself grow in academics, and got involved in several different activities. Menchville is one big family that i’m so proud to be apart of, its bittersweet that i’m going to have to say goodbye in June and start a new chapter of my life. I’m grateful for all the opportunities that Menchville has given me. I’m SCA President at Menchville and it was the best decision i’ve ever made, despite the stress, i️ have been able to meet so many people and plan the best week of the school year, homecoming week.

My experience at Menchville has been a very positive one. We have an awesome staff here as well as the culture in our school. The majority of our sports most definitely stand out. I know that if I need help with a class, I can always find the extra help that I need from my teachers. Our test scores stand above the rest in our area including the awards for AP. I know that I would not have wanted to go anywhere else for high school. Go Monarchs!
Overall, after going to Menchville for all four years of my high school experience I found this to be a very welcoming and enjoyable school. Our principal Mr. Surry completed the high school experience because he was full of kindness towards all his students and staff. His positive attitude and school spirit was what made the school more welcoming and enjoyable. He will be missed when he retires, because the school will not have the same energy when he is gone. I thank this school for making me the person I am.
