    The teachers were always ready to teach to their heart's content and always seemed glad to do so. They prepare you for college, however through my experience, that's it. They do not provide necessary readiness, besides one course, about how to live the rest of your life: Taxes, rent, cooking, debt, the stock market, etc.. All they do is stress students to go to college straight out of high school, which I think is NOT for everyone. let them decide what they want to do first before they begin to suffer thousands of dollars of student loan debt, and they're just 18! They're struggling to get a job, so they go into the trades for a decade or so to pay it off. I just wish that MHS would tell their students that it is OK to take a year or two to think about what they want to do. My senior year was all "apply here, apply there, get teacher recs, or else you will be overlooked!" It was STRESSFUL. Otherwise, a great school, many clubs, it's own "news station", an overall great place to learn.

    The school has a very social climate, while being a very large school it can feel very often like you are getting lost or just not being seen by your teachers and administrators but being at Mason High School I felt loved, valued, and taken care of. There is such a large source of clubs and networks that virtually anyone can get plugged into something they enjoy. Whether that be sports, theatre, technology, video games, etc. there is something for everyone. I've also never experienced the same love and affection from teachers in the same way I did at the High School and because of that I am on the career path I am on right now!
    Offers many opportunities in activities and options for academics. Has an amazing program where you can become a SIB to welcome freshman and become friends with people at school. Competitive in sports and academics but at the same time fun! Teachers are amazing and know how to incorporate learning into a way that encourages us to focus and doesn't bore us. School spirit is everywhere to be found whenever you turn your head. One thing I hope would be more incorporated is resources. For people new to WMHS it might be hard to find ways around to join clubs, get information about college, academics, volunteer work and how to join sports. Places like main office, counselor, drop offs could also have a way to help students navigate more easier because there is no map of the school. I really hope resources can further be improved. Other than that I love being a Mason Comet and am proud of the things my school offers for students.
