Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-Teacher conferences will be held on Thursday, September 24 from 4-7:30.  It is very important that you try to attend these conferences - these are the best times to talk about the progress of your student with their teacher.  I know that all of our teachers welcome parent input at our conferences.  Please feel free to call ahead to schedule an appointment with any or all of your child's teachers.  You can call our high school office at 884-7940 to schedule. 

Student Career Day

Many Junior and Senior students will attend the 3rd Annual career day at Hobart Arena on September 15.  The students will have the opportunity to speak with many area employers about job skills, career opportunities, educational requirements and learn about the overall job market.  A number of our students have, in the past, found employment or internship opportunities during this career day.

Believe in Ohio

What Is the Believe In Ohio Program?

Believe in Ohio is a free new program from The Ohio Academy of Science that helps high school students prepare for the future.  The program was developed in collaboration with Entrepreneurial Engagement Ohio with the support of the Ohio Board of Regents and the 130th Ohio General Assembly.  The Believe in Ohio program has three principal objectives:
1.  Help students understand the challenge and opportunity the future presents for them and how to prepare for it through STEM forums, virtual field trips and online courses into Ohio's Innovation Economy of the future.
2.  Help students understand the importance of a STEM education and an entrepreneurial mindset to become competitors in Ohio's Innovation Economy of the future through engagement with STEM & entrepreneurial experts and mentors, and participation in STEM Commercialization & Business Plan competitions.
3.  Inspire students to Believe in Ohio and pursue their education and careers in Ohio by introducing them to Ohio's robust R&D and entrepreneurial ecosystem that offers great opportunities for them to create their future.
 
MUHS will work with students over the coming year and encourage them to take part in this program.  A number of our teachers and staff members have become trained to help build this in to our HS programs.  Feel free to learn more at Believe in Ohio
