McLean would not be possible for our family without financial aid and the generosity of other families. McLean saved our daughters life at a very dark time and now allows our other daughter to shine as the unique genius she is. A school that allows neurodivergent kids to thrive and build confidence is a blessing. That is not just one teacher but the entire staff that makes that happen effectively. I will give a should out to Mr. Davis for ensuring he has the right staff to make it happen. His leadership the past two years is keeping us on track.

In honor of Mr. HarmesYou’ve helped my son settle down in McLean and put your faith in a student you’ve met only this year. I am very appreciative for your style of teacher because my son’s knowledge in science has increased exponentially. Being in an honors class has also improved his work rate and he is dedicated to getting the best grades possible, as I can see at home. Thank you for being my sons teacher, I am very appreciative of you.
