The teachers really want you to succeed. The only problem I have had one snobby teacher. I am wanting to become a teacher and schools in this area and around the nation really hold McKendree to high standards.

McKendree is really only a school for the sport driven and want to get away with anything. The administration can care less if anything is going on. They tend to baby the athletes and leave most of the intellectuals and creative students forgotten.
