My best experience has to be learning more about my stem track. McKinley has so much offer from sports to clubs and classes. But something I do feel that needs to change is updating the school. It’s very old not old to the point where it’s unsafe. It’s just there are definitely some schools that are more modern and I would like to see that happen at Tech.

The school curriculum was intense and college preparedness for students transitioning from high school to the college level. The counselors are very supportive and will help you readily with letters of recommendation and academic transcripts when prompted

I feel as it does prepare you for college, but the only real bad thing I will say is that it can get a little boring at pep rally's because there is not real new things they do. All of the years that I have been here, they have done almost the same thing for pep rally's and play the same music.
