Maryville City Schools believes that every student deserves to enter the next phase of life with the appropriate tools for that next step. MCS desires to prepare every student to be "Ready" for one of the three "E"s: Enrollment, Employment, or Enlistment. By taking this purposeful and intentional approach, MCS has designed a college and career program that fits the individual needs of every student. Every student will be "Maryville Ready".

“Ready Graduate” measures the percentage of students who earn a diploma from a Tennessee high school and who have met measures of success that increase their probability of seamlessly enrolling in postsecondary education and securing high-quality employment.

Students can attain “Ready Graduate” status by meeting ONE of four criteria:

1)Meeting the subtest benchmarks on the ACT and achieving an ACT composite score of 21.

or

2)Earning a combination of 4 Early Post-Secondary credits.

or

3)Earning a combination of 2 Early Post-Secondary credits along with an industry certification.

or

4)Earning a combination of 2 Early Post-Secondary credits along with an ASVAB score of 31 or higher.

In Maryville City Schools students can earn an Early Post Secondary Opportunity (EPSO) through any of the following:

· Advanced Placement Course (AP)

· College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

· Local Dual Credit Courses (LDC)

· State Dual Credit Course (SDC)

· Industry Certification

In December our students will begin exploring academic and career pathways that are offered at the high school.

Jan. 13-17 - Registration Begins

Lunch and Learn is a fantastic Ready Graduate initiative aimed at providing students with valuable exposure to a diverse range of opportunities for their future education and careers. The structure of having college representatives, military representatives, and career representatives available during all three lunches is an effective way to ensure maximum student participation and engagement.

During these sessions, students have the chance to interact with representatives and gather information about different paths they can pursue after high school. This exposure is crucial in helping them make informed decisions about their future.

The Knoxville Synphony Orchestra will visit and perform in Mrs. Bayles' Orchestra class.
