Margaretta High School

I am currently a high school student and I believe the school needs to follow through on the rules. Some teachers are so strict about cell phones yet some teachers hand out their number and let you text in class. Also you are not even allowed to drink a bottle of water in my study hall. Yes there is a drinking fountain, but does the difference matter. Some teachers also allow you to eat in their classrooms, which is great because I feel sick if I eat early in the morning. And some teachers give out 1 hour detentions if they find you with food. The dress code is not so understandable. It used to be tops 3 fingers wide and bottoms fingertip length. Currently shirts have to cover your shoulder and bottoms have to end right above the knee at the least. This is because too many of my inappropriately dressed female students kept getting shorts/ skirts shorter and shorter. Why couldn't they just get detentions or sent home and not punish everybody. For jeans not even scratched fabric or holes near your foot are allowed. The lunches are not great tasting and the bottoms of the pizza are raw. Warm fruit is also not that great. The food is low calorie, low quality and old favorites are gone

I am an alumn from MHS and do not have very good comments to say about the school. Mr. Schoenegge cannot speak fluent Spanish himself and for four years I played games learning all about what different foods were in Spanish instead of grammar, pronunciation, and conversations. I was number one in my class and barely studied throughout high school. Upon graduation, I attended one of the top universities and was far behind the other students. We never finished all the material in the Calculus AB course let alone more advanced math. MHS's science program was great with Mrs. Spayd who inspired me to become a physician, but she's since retired. Mr. King was also a great teacher, not holding his more driven students back to accommodate the ones who did not want to attend college (most of the school). Ambition and education is not a main concern for MHS, it's sports, which is fine if we were a winning football team. Yeah the buildings are old but that does not matter as much as the administration and teachers wanting to make MHS all it can be, which they have forgotten years ago. I would not let my children go here and don't recommend it to anyone, go to Perkins
