Today marks the first official day of the Arkansas Applied Campaign for seniors at MHHS.

Has your senior applied to college, a trade school, the military, or an apprenticeship? Tell him/her to stop in room 103, the College and Career Coaching Office anytime this fall to spin-to-win for candy, college and trade gear, and other great prizes!
In addition, today is the first day of College Wear Wednesdays, running September 30 through December 9 each Wednesday. If your student wears a college, trade, or military shirt on Wednesday, they can stop in room 103 for a piece of candy on us! Let's get our seniors excited about their futures!

Questions? Email your MHHS College and Career Coaches ~ Whitney Rodgers (Last Names A-K, wrodgers@mhbombers.com) and Jodi Hill (Last Names L-Z, jhill@mhbombers.com).
