MVHS Parents/Guardians,
On Wednesday, November 13th, MVHS Counselors met with our sophomore students through their English class. Students were introduced to the differences between MVHS and University "Sweet 16" entrance requirements, their transcripts, off-campus privilege requirements, and what they can do to remain on track or get back on track.
In the next couple of weeks, parent(s)/guardian(s) will receive a copy of their student's transcript and a letter filled out by their student. The letter will list their GPA, credits, off campus privilege eligibility, graduation status, and what they can do to remain on track or get back on track for graduation. This letter will be delivered via USPS.
We encourage you to talk to your student(s) about their grades and remember that students still have time to make a positive change before the end of the semester. If you have any class specific questions, please reach out to your student's teacher(s) directly.
If your student lists themselves as off-track for graduation, we encourage you to have your student(s) make an appointment with their counselor to discuss credit recovery options.
A reminder, student's counselors are assigned by the student's last name and assignments are as follows:
A-B: Ms. Anderson
C-Gor: Ms. Kati
Gos-Marq: Ms. Wampler
Marr-Rol: Ms. Crawford
Rom-Z: Ms. Ruboyianes

UArizona information
Would you like to your student to start college with college credit? Check out this information regarding the CLEP test at the UA.
CLEP Exam Offerings
The Testing Office offers CLEP exams which offer college credit at a fraction of the cost than traditional classes for subjects that students may already be experts in! Total out of pocket costs for the CLEP exam is $134.
The most popular CLEP exams administered for The University of Arizona (UA) include Spanish Language, French Language, and Calculus. Undergraduate students can receive college credit to fulfill their prerequisites towards their degree. Students can take any CLEP exam prior to completing an earned credit through formal course work. Meaning, students must complete their CLEP exam before they complete a course in the same subject.
Please review the UA's Catalog CLEP policies for a list of subjects, and the scores required to earn college credit and which classes they could earn credit for.
Students can inquire directly by calling The Testing Office at (520) 621-7589 or visiting their web page.
