Current Running Start Students

 

  • If you were unable to attend the Running Start drop-in days on August 21st and August 25th, you can get your verification form signed during one of our two backup days. (Note:  All Running Start students need to have their student financial account - fines, fees, etc.- cleared before counselors sign the verification form. Refer to Principal Kries’ newsletter emailed on August 15, titled MLHS Welcome Back to School.) 
    • Wednesday, September 3rd, from 12-3 pm 

    •  

      Thursday, September 4th, from 8-11 am    

Please bring a printed copy of your BBCC Fall schedule. Counselors will have blank verification forms, or you can print one below. The verification forms are due at BBCC on September 4th by 5 pm.  BBCC admissions hours are Monday-Thursday 7:30 am - 5:00 pm,  and Friday 7:30 am - 2:30 pm. If you would like to send BBCC your verification electronically, you may do so at this email address: admissions@bigbend.edu

  • All Running Start students graduating from MLHS will have an 8th period on their schedule. The 8th period course is used to track student required Schoolink & High School & Beyond Plan lessons; all lessons will be on the Schoolinks platform. More information is coming to students and families by October. 
  • MLHS is excited to announce that we have significantly increased our College in the High School (CiHS) offerings. 
  • CiHS allows students to take college courses on the MLHS campus and earn college credit by passing the course (not dependent on a single test). 
  • Learn material over 18-36 weeks (depending on the class) rather than 11 weeks. 
  • Extra weeks allow for a great transition into rigorous college level work in all subjects, especially in math and science.   

We have several classes that may be of interest to you in support of your college endeavors. Running Start students are typically eligible to take 1 MLHS semester class and 15 credits at Running Start each quarter. Please email or talk with your counselor at Mav Counselor Drop-ins if you are interested.
