Ten years ago, Grace Rivera, former MISD Spanish teacher, had the vision to draw our collective attention to this population of students. Grace was a first in family graduate herself and had an incredible heart for her students and for MISD. When she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she chose to create the First in Family program as a part of her legacy.
MHS's First in Family program has several components:
College and career counseling
Support for completing Financial Aid applications
Opportunity to earn MHS’s First In Family Scholarship
Graduation Reception – students and inspiring teachers are recognized, the scholarship winner is announced.
