Mesa High focuses more on discipline than student growth and experience. They take money from helpful courses to use on school dances and buying sweatpants for dress code. They have shut down so many clubs, classes, and sports, appointing the money to continuously unsuccessful, popular teams like the basketball and football teams. Basketball gets thousands of dollars for trips and track suits when things like color guard and fashion/ sewing courses are shut down. Also, the counselors are hardly helpful and no one listens when criticism is submitted about teachers. It seems that the priorities are very mixed up at this school and it doesn't help the students in the slightest.
What I like about Mesa High School is people embracing the traditions and having the Jackrabbit pride everywhere in the school. Everyone has a equal opportunity to chance to discover their own unique skills and applied it toward the career they want to become. Mesa High is filled with amazing teachers, clubs, and experience that you'll never forget!
Overall, I had a great experience at Mesa High School. The diversity of the student body helped create a great learning environment. The parents and community were heavily incorporated in all the school's activities. My teachers helped me in not only preparing for college but for life in the future. The clubs and sports at the school embodied the spirit of being a Jackrabbit. Mesa High is also known for their many traditions since it first was established in 1898. The students and staff all help continue these traditions and continue to carry out the work ethics of a Jackrabbit in their lives.
