College Planning Workshops
for Juniors
The MPHS Student Services Department in conjunction with UNC and Davidson College are offering two workshops for current juniors in May to supplement our individual college planning meetings. These two workshops are optional. The workshops are NOT designed to be college specific but rather are broad such that the topics covered will pertain to all juniors applying to college this fall. We encourage juniors to attend one or both depending upon what their schedule allows.
On Tuesday, May 16 from 2:30-3:30pm in the Art Gallery we will offer "Conducting a successful College Search to find the Right Fit for YOU". The following week on Wednesday, May 23 from 2:30-3:30pm in the Media Center we will offer "Dispelling the Myths of the College Application Process".
To sign up for one or both of these workshops please click here.

A Message from Student Services Regarding "
13 Reasons Why"
Recently a new Netflix series titled, "13 Reasons Why"
, aired. The Netflix mini-series is based on a novel by Jay Asher. It has garnered much discussion as the series graphically depicts a suicide death and addresses in wrenching detail a number of difficult topics, such as bullying, rape, drunk driving, and victimization. The series also highlights the consequences of teenagers witnessing assaults and bullying (i.e., bystanders) and not taking action to address the situation (e.g., not speaking out against the incident, not telling an adult about the incident)
As the popularity in this mini-series rises we want to make you aware and provide you with resources to use when talking with your child who may have watched the mini-series or heard about it. Please visit the MPHS student services website to receive additional information about the topics mentioned from The National Association of School Psychologists.
As always, if you have questions please contact your child's school counselor (980-343-5800) or mental health provider if you are seeking additional support. .
