Sophomore year of high school is a very monumental year with many firsts. There is the first high school game, homecoming, dances, athletic wear, and you can get your learners licenses. The learners license is the first step to learning how to drive, it is an exciting time for everyone involved. However, it takes some time and work to get it. It helps you learn about the ins and outs of driving most people don't think about. Buckle up, there's a lot you should know. Read more.

Harbin Speaks to Engineering & Broadcast Students
Jordan Harbin, owner of Harbin Repairs on the square in Forsyth, came to speak to Engineering and MPTV Broadcasting students about entrepreneurship and many of his electronics and technology endeavors. The students got to learn about innovation, endurance, creativity, and thinking outside the box in its truest form! Jordan is an MP graduate and a local resident. It's great for students to see what someone just like them can grow up and do!
