Please let Ms. Atwell know if you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity.

At MMCSD our Juniors and Seniors are attending Virtual College Fairs. These Fairs are interactive, online forums where individuals or groups can connect with representatives from colleges and learn more about how to apply. Ms. Atwell, our School Guidance Counselor, has been working with students so they may attend these fairs during school hours. Students are able to attend live Zoom presentations with college and university representatives, watch videos about specific colleges and the admission process, schedule one-on-one meetings with a college representative, get free advice from a college advising expert at NACAC, and attend online meet-ups to get information about financial aid, scholarships, and more.
