Academic Counseling

Academic Help and Resources

If you’re struggling in a class, we offer many opportunities for support. First and foremost, it is important to talk to your teacher. Your teacher should be your first stop in getting advice on how to improve your performance in a particular class. Your counselor can also help you brainstorm solutions. Visit the Academic Support page for more resources.

Tutoring

We have multiple tutoring options within MHS, including MAST, Academic Anchors, the Writing Center and Math Center. To learn more, visit the Academic Support page.
Please contact your counselor if you are interested in a list of professional, fee-based tutors.
