Class of '10!! :) Last year, when I was a freshman, i definately got pretty scared when we had threats for shootings and gang fights, etc. At first, administration at MCHS wasn't doing anything about these types of problems. This year, they have finally stepped up. We, the students, actually feel more

Student, Class of 08 - Yes, at one time discipline WAS bad, but now that's not the story. Actually, it seems sometimes we may have some rules that are TOO strict... (Well, strict for us, nothing as strict as private high school.) Regarding disciplinary problems we sometimes face here, (which are usually

Read more blown out of proportion), just realize that if you hang out with the right crowd, take the right classes, and participate in extra curricular, you will excel and have an amazing, memorable time. To the parents that are groaning - it takes a few calls to get information. Usually the embarrassing parents that don't get anywhere are whining at the front desk for 2 minutes about god knows what, not being specific on their story, or not hearing the school's side out. There's a parent group. Get involved if you really care about what's going on and want information. Read less

I walk the halls daily, I see what goes on, I know what it's really like. Parents don't because they don't go here, they probably couldn't even if they tried because the staff would stop them.

I am not a parent at this school, but I do attend. I am now a Senior at MCHS. I just transferred here last year, and I love it. I was automatically welcomed by everyone: the faculty and students. I have gotten into many activities for only being at MCHS for one complete year. I take honors classes

They do not judge you b/c of your parents or anythign else besides who you are. I love MCHS! Read less
