“College Choices: Pathways to Success”

Thursday, September 17, in C-120 from 7 pm – 8:30 pm

Overwhelmed at the prospect of getting through college admission season with your relationships intact? Wondering how to best help a teenager who may know more than you do about this process? Or do you just want great advice from parents and students who learned “the hard way”? This event features a diverse panel of past Mission students who have forged their own paths to success in college admissions and beyond, top ten survival tips for parents and students, advice from an “expert”, plus fun give-aways, tips and tricks, and a lot of Q & A time. This event is designed to complement our MSJHS Career Center and Counseling College Events!

“Thriving! Why Emotionally Resilient People Succeed”
Thursday, November 19, in C-120 from 7 – 8:30 pm

Ever wonder why some people succeed despite their circumstances and others fail even though they seem to have everything? This evening discusses why it’s crucial to raise emotionally resilient people, how we can do that regardless of our circumstances and why it’s important to be emotionally resilient ourselves. This is a workshop with renowned speakers and a student panel. If you could reserve your spot and aid our planning efforts, we would be very grateful!
