Mount Pleasant High School Reviews
Rating 3.52 out of 5 287 reviews
I started my high school career in the 10th grade at Mount Pleasant high school and ever since then, I've loved it at Mount. The students, the teachers, and the admin all play such a key part in making your high school experience at Mount Pleasant memorable. The teachers are patient and willing to help, they encourage their students the study, work hard, and ultimately just try their best. There are so many ways to get involved, from sports to drama, to student government you name it! there's a place for everyone to fit in at our school. I truly love it at Mount and I'm extremely devastated that I'm graduating but I'm grateful for the friends that I've made and the experiences that I've had! I love my school and I hope anyone else attending does too.
My experience at Mount Pleasant high school has been great so far. When I moved here I made friends easily, my grades went up, and I felt I was in a safer environment. I was making honor roll every marking period which really helped me when I would apply to colleges. The friends I had made and the teachers that always cheered me on also made me a over-all happier person. The only thing I would change about the school would be that they would financially support the arts programs more. We need newer art materials in order to effectively create our pieces. Thankfully the art teachers put in a lot of time, money, and effort to make the experience better for us students. Over-all though, I enjoy Mount Pleasant and am proud to be a green knight!
At Mount Pleasant High School, I appreciate the unity of the students, faculty, and staff in the school community. Through events and school-related activities, Mount Pleasant sustains positive interaction with the community outside of the school. The administration, over the course of the past years, has been superb--and continues to strengthen and build on top of the pre-built foundation. I thoroughly enjoyed my four years as a Green Knight!
