The Class of 2024 celebrated Apply to College Month in Georgia by starting, completing, and submitting their college applications. Although several students have already been accepted to colleges throughout the state and have earned scholarships (see the MCMHS Live Feed for details!), Apply to College events provide on-site assistance to motivate and propel additional applications for all Seniors.
On November 13, 2023, the Class of 2024 started 71 applications, completed 54 applications, and submitted 52 applications as a whole. These numbers reflect participation for about 77% of the class. Other members have already submitted applications or have committed to a branch of the Armed Forces. Several students who began applications on this date are awaiting test scores prior to submission.
On-site volunteers and facilitators for the 2023-24 event included:
Melissa Jernigan, High School Counselor, Event Coordinator
Melissa Price, Middle School Counselor and Dual Enrollment Coordinator
Jessica Hirst, Work-Based Learning Coordinator
Jo Ward, Seleta Rogers, and Rees Walker-Marion County Retired Teachers
Katie Minich-Georgia Student Finance Commission Representative
