College and career planning begins early and involves matching interests, skills, and abilities with types of jobs available. Students wanting assistance with the college and career planning process are encouraged to visit with their counselor.

MRHS offers a variety of courses to provide students with experiences that prepare them for post-secondary education, whether it is a four-year university, two-year college, technical training, or other opportunities.

Students desiring entry-level jobs upon graduation or interested in a specific field of study in college may be advised to follow a specific sequence of courses in a particular field. Students should work with their parents and counselor in establishing the appropriate four-year course plan.

Each university, college, and technical school has established requirements for admission that are unique to their institution. Students should work closely with their counselor and the specific post-secondary institution to ensure that each school's expectations are understood.

Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to plan and visit colleges and/or technical schools during the summer before their senior year. Most schools offer weekend and/or holiday visits. Occasionally, you may need a week-day appointment for post-secondary plans.

MRHS allows two excused absences per school year for all juniors and seniors. Most colleges require that students schedule appointments in advance.
