"Great teachers, great athletics and clubs, student body is very kind and helpful. Teachers are always willing to give individual help, and truly care about their students."
"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."
