We have many events still to take place. Please see dates below:

MSHS Manufacturing students tour Muskegon
On Tuesday, October 24th, Industrial Arts teacher Pat Rabbitt escorted over 30 Mona Shores students to four different manufacturing facilities in Muskegon as well as the Carolyn and Peter Stirrus Technology Center, which is administered by Muskegon Community College in downtown Muskegon. Students heard presentations from company executives and took tours on the factory floors. They learned about potential post-graduation job opportunities, some of which required a college degree and many of which did not. At the end of the day, they all had a clearer picture of what life might look like after high school.
