MHS Students Attend 16th Annual HBCU Fall College Fair

Thirty-eight MHS students recently attended the HBCU Awareness Foundation’s 16th Annual Fall College Fair, presented by Nike, in Memphis, Tennessee. The event brought together college recruiters from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the country, providing students with a valuable opportunity to explore their options for higher education.

During the college fair, students connected directly with HBCU representatives and learned about academic programs, admission requirements, scholarship opportunities, campus life, and other aspects of the college experience. Many recruiters were also prepared to extend on-the-spot admission offers and scholarship opportunities to eligible students.

The experience provided MHS students with meaningful exposure to a variety of colleges and universities while allowing them to build connections with admissions representatives and explore pathways to their future academic and career goals.

MHS is proud of these students for taking advantage of this opportunity to expand their college knowledge, explore new possibilities, and take important steps toward their futures.

Students in Ms. Thompson’s Honor’s 10 English debated the reliability of perspective in Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Fall of The House of Usher.” Students were assigned a position: the narrator is unreliable, or Roderick has gone mad, defending their positions with the text!

In AP Literature, students crafted Frankenstein’s (textually accurate) creature, detailing the most essential steps Victor takes in deliberately creating life!

Growing the Next Generation of Teachers!

What a wonderful day for Mrs. Chrestman’s Rising Pre-Educator students. Some of our future teachers had the opportunity to attend the ASU Mid-South Annual Future Educators Fall Fling, directed by Mrs. Lori Forrester and featuring Ms. Kristi Rice, Principal of Richland Elementary.

There is something special about watching young people begin to see themselves as future educators. Ms. Rice shared a beautiful reminder that teaching comes from the heart. Students learn best from teachers they like, trust, and know genuinely care about them. Long before a child remembers a lesson, they will remember how their teacher made them feel. What a powerful message for our future educators!

A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Rice for sharing her passion for teaching and to Mrs. Forrester and ASU Mid-South for providing such a meaningful experience for our students.

These students are more than future teachers. They are future mentors, encouragers, and difference-makers. What a privilege it is to be a small part of their journey!
