What the school lacks in state-of-the-art equipment that younger buildings may have, it makes up in extraordinary teachers who work diligently with every student that needs their help. MHS has an abundance of extra curricular

I would just like to say that I have recently graduated from methuen high school, and even though there were many obstacles I had to overcome in four years, the school made it possible.
