College & Career Center


A note about supplemental materials. You have the ability to view what has been submitted (transcripts and letters of recommendation) in Naviance. Oftentimes colleges and universities have automatic email messages that will go out stating that applicants are missing materials. These often go out before the university has had the chance to process students’ files. If you receive one of these messages, please do not panic. If Naviance shows that your materials have been submitted, chances are very high that the university has not yet processed them, but they are there! If you are still concerned, you can always reach out directly to the school for confirmation and follow up with your counselor or teacher if need be. 


As a reminder, if you have not yet done so, please take a moment to review and bookmark the Virtual College and Career Resource Center. (Virtual CCRC)



Financial Aid Assistance: Don’t forget, MHS has a wonderful representative from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission who is happy to help you work through your financial aid questions! Reach out to Alexis any time, or connect with him on Wednesday during his dedicated MHS hours! You can find Alexis’ information in the Virtual CCRC or by using the link below.

Remember, if you have questions at any time you just have to schedule an appointment with Mrs. Rusk, our College Counselor, and we can connect via Zoom to talk through any questions or concerns you may have!

Coach Rodriguez on celebrating Senior night: My favorite part of the Awards Night is always the Senior Speeches. These Seniors didn’t get the final season they would’ve hoped for, but that didn’t stop them from celebrating positive memories & sharing all they’ve learned from XC. They are an inspiration & we will miss them!
