"Thank you MHS! Our son attended MHS and received an excellent education.   Four years ago, we hoped that he would graduate with a solid GPA, get the HOPE scholarship, and attend UGA at the completion of his high school career.   As it turns out, he received an International Baccalaureate Diploma and received the HOPE scholarship.  He was accepted to UGA, but opted to go out of state after winning $100,000 in academic scholarships.  In addition to the financial support, he tested well enough to exempt his first full year of college.  It is highly possible that his scholarship money will pay for not only his bachelors degree but also his graduate school.  We are so very pleased with the education he has received at MHS.   Our city is very fortunate to have such a great public high school."      Posted 7.1.2009
