The Mundelein High School parent group, known as the MHS Ambassadors, will visit each of the middle schools that send students to MHS to welcome them as the MHS Class of 2021.
“The purpose of the parent group is to build bridges with parents, sender schools, the community and the MHS faculty,” said Kevin Myers, MHS superintendent. “Our goal is to promote MHS and to educate our future Mustangs about their upcoming high school experience,” he explained.
The meetings will take place at the various middle schools. Eighth graders and their parents will see a short video about student life at MHS, they will hear about paths of study and they will learn about the new STEM lab, Project Lead the Way and the Business Incubator Lab. The Class of 2021 will be only the second class to have these options available to them for all four of their years. The new three-story building addition just opened this fall
While parents will hear from building administrators and faculty, the students will meet separately with an MHS student group, Link Crew. New freshmen each year meet regularly with Link Crew students who help the new freshman class navigate through their first year of transition from middle school to high school. The student meetings will conclude with the MHS students teaching the incoming freshmen the MHS Fight Song.
The MHS Mustang Ambassadors will meet with eighth graders and their parents on the following evenings: Carl Sandburg Middle School, Tuesday, Jan. 10 at 7 p.m.; Hawthorn Middle School, Tuesday, January 10, 7 p.m.; Fremont Middle School, Tuesday, Jan. 10, 6:30 p.m.; West Oak Middle School, Wednesday, Jan. 11, 7 p.m.; and Frassati Catholic Academy, Thursday, Jan. 12, 7 p.m.
