This is a fabulous school. The standards are set very high, and the students work hard to meet the expectations. My son is on Band and Drumline. Both programs are a credit to the quality of the music education at this school. He has opportunities to excel in his AP classes, and his counselour is

Last year seniors at this school received something like 4 million dollars worth of scholarships, and that is a testament not only to the efforts of the students and teachers, but to how hard these counselours' work on these kids behalf.

My son will be a junior at MHS next year. He started here as a freshman after attending a small private school in Europe for jr.high. I was worried about the adjustment and quality of education, but Marcus has been a very positive experience for my son. Although large, the school offers many opportunities
