"I have just finished my Junior year at MUHS, so my next few words should carry some weight. Academically, this school has pushed me past every single limit I thought I had. At many points throughout the year, I was taken out of my comfort zone and as a result was able to learn more about myself and my abilities. The exact same can be said for our athletics at every level. Socially, you will find a welcoming and strong brotherhood. In fact, that was the deciding factor for me when I was deciding which I high school I would attend. I shadowed and realized how valuable and unique this community was. As I move on to my final year at MUHS, I can proudly say this school and faculty have more than prepared me for college and has given me connections with friends that will remain lifelong."
