I loved attending this school. I recieved an internship my senior year and was able to join a lot of the clubs McCollm has to offer. I was very happy and I will send m children here in the future.

I hate this school because i really want to learn things about the real world but the only thing we learn here is about Taks...and I know more than the teachers that is truly sad.

McCollum is growing and it is getting better. My sister graduated in 2003 and is now working at a news station and living a successful life. I'm currently a senior and yes McCollum has its problems but the same can be said for any other school.

I feel that McCollum High School is one of the most friendliest school that a student can attend. They are always introducing more numerous ways for students to get a higher education. The School for Leadership and Public Service is also a great addition to the school, as it has now seen throught five graduating classes. McCollum also has a great extra curricular activities and programs. They have a great band, drama tean, and excellent sport teams. The only thing I am disatisfied about is the lack of parent involvement at McCollum High School. There should be more parents suopporting a great high school in thier community.

I am actually a senior at MHS in the Leadership program. MHS has a great potential to be a good school, but there are just setbacks such as not enough money for materials. Many classes do not even have a full set of textbooks for one class. I think before HISD's schools become great, the school board has to clean up their act. However, I do think the Leadership program at MHS is great! I'm not saying it's better than being a regular student, but it does insure you get a higher level of learning. The Dual Credit and the Advanced Placement programs at McCollum is a real privelege to students and it gives them a head start before entering college. I think scores are low simply because our students don't have the drive. The students are smart!

I am not a parent, but actually a 2003 graduate of The School for Leadership and Public Service at McCollum. I think it is utter bull that McCollum has dropped considerably low in scores. I just wish parents were more aware of their children's productivity at McCollum. Atleast out of the seventy somethin who graduated from LPS and McCollum , 85% are attending a four year University and the others are at community college. Whoa! Lets get on the ball now!

Atleast the school for leadership and public service is a good outcome of this school. I think about 90% attend a four year university, the others attend community college or went into the service. About 2% is taking a year off or two. mccollum should take some leadership and find out where they are lacking in skill.
