Right now, Mechanicsburg is improving, we have construction going on so that we can get better facilities for students to learn in. Overall, I have a very good experience with this school and school district.

I enjoyed the ability to go at my own pace and the support I received from teachers and staff throughout my high school experience. As someone who doubled up on science I had some challenging schedules, but with the help of my teachers I was able to learn a lot from these classes.

This is no fault of the teachers who are often understanding and willi...

Unfortunately Honors teachers lose papers, submit grades after losing papers, respond to emails with 'I haven't graded it yet'. If your child is bright, and wants...
