College and Career Center
Take Charge of Your Future
MHS College & Career Center
Student Services and the Career Center are here to help you explore your options and prepare for life after high school—whether your plan is college, career training, the military, an apprenticeship, or entering the workforce.
You don't have to have your entire future figured out. The important thing is to explore your options, ask questions, stay organized, and take action.
We provide support, but YOU (the student) are responsible for taking action, meeting deadlines, and following through.
Check your school email and your Class of Google Classroom DAILY so you don't miss important information and deadlines.

Financial Aid & FAFSA
