Class of 2025: It's Time to Forecast!

Current MVHS freshmen, you'll have more courses to choose from next year! But how do you decide which classes to take...and when do you choose them?

Forecasting is the term we use for the process of requesting next year's classes. We started with a freshman class meeting on February 17th, then the MVHS Course Fair on February 24th. Counselors visited Freshman Foundations the week of February 28th to explain exactly how to request classes in StudentVUE, and they checked back in with Freshman Foundations classes the week of March 14th to wrap up forecasting.
