Posted August 5, 2007

I attended MTHS a few years ago and I loved it. The teachers were very respectful and were involved in your overall academic performance. There was a wide variety of extracurricular activities to choose from. Our school got a different look in the hallways by painting things red, white, and blue compared to the brown and orange it had been for over 20 yrs. because the school was going to have a buffalo as a mascot. We are forgotten when it comes to repairs and renovations because we are 'across the river' and don't get a new gym with a nice auditorium. Instead we have a cafetorium (cafeteria and auditorium combined). So when it comes to upgrades, we don't have it. But good teachers, students, and faculty...we do have.
