Mercer County was a really good school. I transferred from another high school my sophomore year and I didn't know if I would like this new school. When I got there my first day, I never felt so comfortable and confident at any school. It was easy to conversate, the academics are outstanding. It's an all around great school. The athletics, the staff, the students, the clubs, everything is amazing!
Our school is very small, 385 students walk the halls daily. Many other public schools in larger communities harbor many more students than our small, close-knit community. Due to our smaller numbers, we have less students to participate in clubs, organizations, and group activities. Some of our extracurricular opportunities are basketball(girls and boys), softball, baseball, volley ball(girls), football(boys), dance team, cheerleading, majorettes, flag squad, key club(community service), book club, movie appreciation club, band, jazz band, choir, show choir, music theory, music appreciation. Most of the smaller clubs are book club, movie club, flags, and majorettes. These clubs, on average, receive less attention from faculty/staff. My personal favorite clubs are band, choir, show choir, danced team, and music theory.
Our school spirit is intense, mostly during football season. My sophomore year (2012) we won football 2A state! We have taken a lot of pride in our football team throughout the years taking home a few state titles and a few second place trophies. The stands are always filled on a fall friday night. Our basketball team has supporters, but has not had as much success as our football team.
