Senior students are allowed two days per school year for College Visits. This generally requires a week's notice and needs signatures from a principal, all teachers and a counselor, and the form can be picked up from Lydia Smith in the Counseling Center. Students need to bring back documentation of their visit to the Attendance Office. For helpful tips on how to plan and what to do when you get there from Collegeboard, CLICK HERE.
Students will need to send transcripts to colleges throughout the year, and students can request TEN free over the course of their academic career. After that, the cost will be $1. Click HERE for a transcript request form.
ACT and SAT test schedules are available in the Counseling Center. The ACT is given 5 times a year at MHS. Please check the College and Career page for sign-up pages. PRINCETON REVIEW will once again be available this year for MHS students. New login information is available to all registered students.
