Mike broke down college planning made simple with his 5 secrets to making college affordable:
1️⃣ Developing a smart college list
2️⃣ Test prep & upgrading your student resume
3️⃣ Securing financial aid
4️⃣ Finding merit-based & special scholarships
5️⃣ Tapping into outside scholarships

Students in Mr. Hessler’s Creative Writing class at MCHS have poured their hearts and souls into original tributes for prominent black figures — and the results are powerful.
They chose, developed, and wrote their own pieces to celebrate the legacy, impact, and contributions of Black Americans. Through their craft of wordsmithing, they’ve expressed sincere appreciation with depth, emotion, and respect.
📚 These tributes are more than assignments — they’re reflections of understanding, empathy, and pride.
👏 We’re so proud of their creativity and commitment to honoring history through the power of writing.
