Dear Parents/Guardians of 12th-Grade Students,
As part of Wisconsin's College and Career Readiness initiative, all students in grades 6-12 participate in guided Academic and Career Planning (ACP). In the Mukwonago Area School District, we refer to this process as our “Muk Ready” initiative. This initiative connects the present to the future and the future to the present, preparing students for their next steps after high school.
In addition to each family’s individual efforts, we hope that the activities facilitated by the school from grades 6 through 12 have helped develop informed decision-makers who are ready—or nearly ready—to take intentional steps toward their future careers. The final step for our Mukwonago students in becoming “Muk Ready” is the completion of the Muk Ready Capstone Project.
The Muk Ready Capstone Project is a ten-minute slideshow and presentation summarizing each student’s high school experience. The project includes meaningful coursework, co-curricular activities, post-secondary research, and any other transformative experiences. Students are also encouraged to share their future plans and offer advice for the next group of MHS students.
To ensure students have time to reflect and create a meaningful project, we have allocated sufficient Advisory periods during the school day for project completion. Ultimately, students will screen-record their presentations and share them with at least three staff members as well as their families.
The Muk Ready Capstone Project is due on May 2, 2025.
Thank you for your continued support as we guide our students through this important milestone. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns about the process.
