    This school is fantastic. If you are looking for a way to excel in education an better your future, this school is right for you. As a freshman we are currently making pristine resumes. We learn many essential tools for life. For instance, we learn interviewing skills and presentation skills. We also learn to dress to impress, the dress code executes this. As well as, we dress in professional clothing. The homework load isn’t as horrible as everyone says. If you manage your time well and get things done it is quite easy. The teachers there are phenomenal, they are always there to help and provide to their students. They are willing to go above and beyond. However, the food in this district of Westada is terrible, I would recommend bringing lunch as a freshman or until you can drive and leave campus. We have refrigerators and microwaves for the students to use. Overall, the school is amazing in preparing students with credits, and skills for college and the adult world.

    MMACHS has been such a blessing to my life. All the staff members are nice and willing to help at a drop of a hat. MMACHS has also given me so many opportunities and experiences (CERT, college credit classes, internships in the community, HOSA - Future Health Professionals, and a multitude of community service events). All of the classes have a healthcare spin on the curriculum (when possible) and the teachers challenge their students to do well and form their own opinions on the topics discussed. The social environment is very friendly and every grade level becomes very close friends (especially since each grade level has an average of 50 students each).
    I walked into this school with an understanding of its rigor and challenges. I did not understand what they would be for certain but I knew that this was the holding potential. MMACHS gives each student the ability to explore their strengths and weaknesses with the face of challenge. I was able to come out of my shell and explore not only who I was academically but who I was as an individual. Something unique that those who attend can gain through MMACHS, are REAL WORLD SKILLS. These are pertinent to the success of all realms. I have learned more about myself and who I will be as a hard-working member of society due to the values, knowledge, and experience gained through this route of education. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as an MMACHS student and the tight-knit family we all know it to be.
