Thomas McKean High School
mckean high school is just an amazing place to be. from the moment i stpped through the doors i felt a part of the experience high school brings. all the bad rep mckean gets is bogus. the kids are very coo and only a few are disruptive. if you have a kid thats about to enter high school i suggest you think about sending them to mckean!
