Students

We are fortunate to have many amazing college admission counselors visit MLHS. These visits are a great way to learn more about the respective college or university and personally meet with a representative from the admission team.

In order that students do not miss any class instruction, the counseling department will be hosting college rep visits during the Lunch Block in the Media Center! Please see Scoir for more information and to sign up for a visit.

What is Peer Mentoring?

Each year we ask our Junior and Senior classes to volunteer as Peer Mentors for younger students in our district. Peer Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee.
