My daughter recently graduated from MEHS, and I cannot say enough good things about this school! I was an involved parent and enjoyed the welcoming environment. I want to point out that you will get so much benefit from being involved and communicating often with the teachers and staff. Everyone at MEHS is so caring and responsive. My daughter had some difficulties and I am just SO grateful that she was surrounded by such a caring team because they were able to reach out to me when they saw something and I was able to reach out to them when I had concerns. Overall, my daughter is a successful young adult because of the compassion and guidance of all the amazing people at MEHS!
