I went to MHS from 9th-12th grade, graduating in 2022. Some items not reviewed due to lack of reference to other schools/others' experiences and my failing memory.Orchestra: 3 orchestras when I went, non-audition groups for 9th grade and 10th-12th, and an audition group. Audition group was roughly college-level and was one of the best in the country. Non-audition groups came in right behind the audition group during competitions.Band: Had several groups, including a jazz band, with audition and non-audition bands outside marching season. Several members of the band made it to the state ensemble and/or solo competition.Choir: Had several groups, including non-audition, audition, and pop choirs (latter included dancing).English: My experience with the English teachers varied from year to year, but most were good. The teachers for AP Lang prepared us quite well for the exam, and the same was true for those who took AP Lit. There was also a dual enrollment English course through the local technical school which covered equivalent material to AP Lang and AP Lit.Math: Every teacher I had ranged from quite good to amazing. The AP Math teachers were a Godsend and did not get enough credit for their amazing work.Biology: The anatomy & physiology class was good enough that it would have been dual enrollment if not for the only prereq being 9th grade biology and a teacher recommendation. AP Bio was hindered by COVID but was very good when we were in the classroom. There were several other options for varieties of AP and non-AP courses that seemed quite interesting. The teachers were beloved by most of the students who took their classes.Chemistry: Ordinary chemistry was a walk in the park as long as you went to class and did your homework. College-level chemistry courses were taught by 1 teacher, and he was always willing to help students after school and let students study/ask questions.Physics: Very good, the only friction point being the lack of an AP Physics C (calc-based physics) course - unless a student self-studies and gets help from a teacher.Tech: Offered a variety of woodworking/welding courses; the welding courses were free dual enrollment through the local technical school.PE: Was PELibrarians: Extremely kind and helpful. Also run a 3D printing lab for students.Advisors: Tended to push students either towards K-State or local tech school. Did their best to help struggling students.

We purposefully transferred in from a different district before we moved to the area. We LOVE the school! Mrs. Simon is in her 2nd year as Principal and has been an amazing positive influence on the school. The teachers are truly invested in the kids' success and bullying (from what I know) has been addressed very well. It's the perfect small town within a large district.

I am very pleased with Anthony Middle School!! The teachers really invest time and effort into each student and it shows!! My son is an eighth grader there and has some of the best teachers ever!! Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Pickler...they are such a dynamic duo and have really helped my son blossom this year!! I am forever indebted to them!! So proud my son is an Anthony Tornado!!
