Step 1: Think about your goals!
There are many things to consider when you start your high school career!
You will have to take courses in Health, English Language Arts, Math, and Science during your freshmen year but you will also have room for many electives! Think about what interests you and choose electives based on that. MHS offers plenty of interesting electives and your freshmen year is a great time to try something new! |
Use the Four Year Plan form below to map out the courses you would like to take during high school. If you need assistance in how to fill out the Four Year Plan, please review the PowerPoint presentation by clicking on the image below.
Step 2: Consider your options.
Next you need to know what classes are available for you next year. Please view this in relation to YOU. Do not make decisions based on what others are doing or not doing as every academic plan is unique to one's individual goals.
We have prepared the course catalog for you to read through. Questions? Contact your school counselor!

Step 3: Make Your Plan
First thing you will want to do is complete your Course Pick Sheet! You should have received one in PAT but if you did not, you can find a copy here. These need to be turned into your PAT teacher who will then give them to your counselor/case manager.
Step 4: Enter Your Requests
Course requests will be entered using your StudentVUE portal. The video will show you how to access and enter your requests. You will need to do so within your course request window. You should do this on a mac, pc, or Chromebook - it will be difficult/impossible to do so via mobile app.

Step 5: Patience and email checking
Once you have added a course to your requests - it is in. There is no submit button. You can change classes as often as you like when the request window is open if you change your mind. Once the window closes - you will need to contact your school counselor to change any requests and it may fall under the add/drop policy.
Scheduling is like a giant puzzle and takes us about 2 months to create your perfect schedule (it's equivalent to making about 3,000 individual classes all fit together nicely). We can make most student requests work, but we are never able to make them all work. Please be sure to regularly check your email because we may ask you about a scheduling question that needs a prompt reply. If we do not hear back quickly - we may move on to the next student. |
We set the end of May as our goal to return tentative schedules to students each year - however they will be ready...when they are ready.
