We know that you are anxious to hear back from your colleges of choice, and we do our best to keep up with the multitudes of paperwork that go along with each and every application. If you have questions in regards to your applications, please see your counselor.

Seniors should make an appointment with their counselor early their senior year to go over college information. The counselors will go over the college application process, scholarship opportunities and what is expected of the senior student. Transcript request for seniors should go through their counselor first, each senior gets 6 transcripts for free and then after that each transcript is $3.00. MHS will bill students that go over the limit of six.
