Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School

I definitely learned a lot over my four years at MASH. Not only were there countless opportunities to get involved in sports or extra-curricular activities, but the dynamics of a good public school undoubtedly shaped the person I am today. The teachers are kind, helpful, and fully devoted to teaching. If you need ANYTHING, there is always a teacher or staff member that is more than willing to help you. Whether you're excelling or falling behind, there is some kind of program for you. AP classes have helped me get ahead in college so much that I have the potential to graduate in three years. I learned invaluable study tips and life lessons that I still practice today. Aside from high school pettiness, there really isn't anything wrong with this school. And yes, the dreaded Project Dreams is arduous and seems to be pointless, but after it's all said and done, you realize that you're happy that your school made you do job shadows. It certainly helped me figure out what I want - and more importantly didn't want - to do with my life.

The teacher-leadership excels, particularly in the 10th grade English department.

I have two children in the district, a junior and a 4th grader. Both started in Northside Elementary and I'd like to extend some kudos for the falculty and administration there. Regarding the High School, over the years I've marveled at the quality of the teaching staff and their involvement with the students. Equally, I've been quite impressed with the level of support that the school gives both the students and parents. Whether it's a sporting event, a career day event or simply meeting the faculty & staff at various academic events I've found everyone to be encouraging, respectful, positive, and willing to hear my concerns and ready to offer student praise when earned. One thing more, I've recently had opportunity to meet the guidance counselors and the school nurse - they were extremely helpful, professional, caring and supportive - praises to all.

Great School! Really prepares kids for college, and the teachers actually care about the students. Definitely recommended to any looking for a sound education for their child.
