Advisory and Exhibitions
Two unique aspects of life at MHS are its Advisory system and exhibition requirements. All new students are assigned to an Advisory that remains together through 12th grade. Advisory meets every day for all four years of high school. The advisor is the student's advocate in the building and functions as the primary contact with parents. All advisors have 15 to 20 students in their Advisory and remain with their group for the four years.

In 9th grade, Advisory focuses on creating a community and how to be successful in high school. The group plans and completes a Community Service Learning Project. Students read three days a week and exchange letter and notes about their reading with their advisor.

In 10th grade, Advisory follows a similar trajectory with an accelerated timeline. The second semester, the advisor works with the class on their first of three exhibitions that teach the process of independent research. A committee of students and teachers assesses the final project.

In 11th and 12th grade, Advisory focuses on the college process in depth, in addition to helping guilde the students through the required exhibitions and supporting academic and social growth.
