Manitou Springs High School

It has been a fantastic week at Manitou Springs High School. We are looking forward to welcoming families into our classrooms on Tuesday, September 21st for our Open House. As you make your way around the school and visit with your kid's teachers, we truly believe that you will see how lucky we all are to be a part of the Mustang community.

MSHS School Counselors have been and are continuing to visit all Senior Advisories this week and next week to deliver a presentation and discuss the College Application Process. Seniors are learning how to request transcripts and letters of recommendation via Naviance-an online post-secondary planning tool. This is the only way MSHS will send transcripts so it is important that all seniors check their email for a copy of our presentation and links to important resources.
