Running Start and Puget Sound Skills Center Informational Night – January 24th 6:00-7:30 in the Little Theater
The MRHS School Counselors invite students and their families interested in Running Start or Puget Sound Skills Center to meet representatives from each of these programs. There will be a presentation with Q&A from each representative and further Q&A from the MRHS Counselors after the program has concluded. This is the ideal place to hear all of the information at once and to get all of your questions answered if you are considering one of these programs! If you have any questions prior to the event please contact Gina Fiorito at gina.fiorito@highlineschool.org
