Attention Juniors and Seniors-College Representative Visits

Throughout the school year MHS will host representatives from an array of different colleges and universities. Seniors are encouraged to attend, and juniors are welcome. The schedule of visits is available on Naviance under "College Visits" and on the monitor in the Guidance Suite. 

All students must obtain permission from their teachers 24 hours in advance of the college visit. Once you have permission, you may register in Naviance. STUDENTS MUST REGISTER IN NAVIANCE in order to be admitted to the meeting. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know different colleges and have your questions answered without having to travel to the school.  Click the link below to view our visit calendar.

ATTENTION SENIORS!!! Here is the updated Class of 2024 Senior Survival Guide:

COLLEGE NIGHT 2022 

Monday, October 17th was another successful MHS College Night. We were happy to welcome representatives from 100+ colleges and universities to our school for the first time since the Covid-19 lockdown. 

It is already that time of year when the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is released. Please join HESAA online for an upcoming FAFSA completion workshop: October 3 or October 26.

Counselors, students, and parents can join these FREE, online workshops to learn how to submit their FAFSA application. The earlier families know how much student financial aid they are eligible for, the sooner they can make informed decisions about college selection. 

October 3 and October 26. Join us here at 6 pm:

Also, you do need to apply for an FSA ID which serves as an electronic signature on the FAFSA application. They can request an FSA ID now and be all set for next week’s release of the 2023-2024 FAFSA.

COMING SOON!!
