My poor experience at Menchville isn't because the school is bad, but simply because of my lack of involvement in sports and clubs. Towards the end of the year, I realized the importance of school spirit and coming out of my shell, but by then, graduation was already around the corner and it was a little too late for me. Overall, Menchville is actually a great school. We're very diverse, the classrooms are decently up to date, and the teachers and staff are amazing. Like every school, we still deal with issues like bullying, fighting, drug use, and racism but our counselors and security officers do their job to make us feel protected when we walk through those doors. Menchville offers numerous activities for everyone to be included and our sports teams are pretty awesome! In fact, our girl's basketball team just won states for the first time in Monarch history.
I have been at Menchville High School for almost 4 years now. I have made many friends and all of my teachers have been very nice and considerate. My teachers have always helped when I needed something and made sure that I understand the material. Our school principal is also very good at his job and makes sure that the students feel welcome and safe. My counselors have also made sure that I am on track for graduation and have helped me with many things throughout the years. The school also has many AP classes from which the students can choose. Overall, my experience at Menchville High has been very good. I do, however, believe that some teachers could lessen the workload. Other than the workload in some of the classes, I have no major complaints about the school or my experience at the school.
Menchville High School provides a quality school experience for those who are committed to their education. You will have to ignore classmates who do not seem to care about their education or the education of others. While I cannot speak for other high schools in my school district, I find it alarming that Menchville is referred to as the best high school in the area. Fights happen often. A positive is that majority of my peers are committed to our schooling. I have met many friends that share common interests and we have fun in and outside of school with each other.
