Student Success Tips
- BE BRAVE! Try out new activities, clubs, and sports offered at MHS. Not only will it expand your horizons, but it's a great way to meet new friends.
- USE A PLANNER or CALENDAR! Using a planner will help you stay organized with homework & project due dates, test dates, and your daily schedule.
- MAKE TIME FOR PRACTICE & PREPARATION: Do your homework (practice/preparation) so you don't fall behind. These tasks are intended to help you review important concepts and learn new skills.
- ASK FOR HELP when you need it! This is an important skill, even for adults. Figure out who can support you with academic, social, and/or personal challenges and reach out to them.
- TAKE GOOD, KIND CARE OF YOURSELF. This includes eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and getting at least 8-10 hours of sleep each night.
- JUST BREATHE. High school can be a wonderful, exciting time in your life! There may also be moments when you feel overwhelmed with all the changes taking place. So, slow down. Take it one step at a time. Practice healthy coping strategies.
