The MHS chapter of Mu Alpha Theta National Mathematics Honor Society has participated in the national convention and competition for several years, and has even had a member be elected a national officer. They are able to visit a different city each year, and often are housed on a college campus for the convention. This is an invaluable opportunity for our students, helping prepare them for life after high school, and broadening their horizons!

 

Fundraisers are held throughout the year to help with the cost of registration and travel. If you are interested in going to the summer convention and competition, or interested in helping provide the funds for students, please see Mr. Porter!
