if you work hard, dress nice, and speak like the civil war is still in full swing, the teachers will treat you with respect. aside from that.
there is no room for any remotely liberal views. you are not welcome if you don't try to fit their idea of "normal". I personally got a great education, got into a great school. but i felt like i was

- I am a student here at Myers Park and I would like to virtually give all of the staff and faculty there a pat on the back. I started ninth grade last year, not knowing what to expect. From what I heard high school was this big scary place where all the teachers are mean. that was not the case with MPHS. the teachers are very welcoming and caring. Most of them strive to be better leaders for their students. Personally, MPHS is a home away from home if you will. Its a place where I can go and be whoever I want to be, different from my other life around family.
Thanks MP!
