MLC Updates

  • Evening Scholars

    9/12/2023

    Evening scholars registration is now open for first semester!

    If your high school student is behind in credits toward graduation, would rather take a particular graduation required class outside of the regular school day, or would like to get ahead on their graduation requirements, this is an excellent opportunity. 

    • Classes will be held from October 2 - January 18, 2024 (final Monday night class is Jan 8)

    • Classes meet from 5:00 - 8:00pm, once per week, for 13 weeks.  

    • All classes are in-person and attendance is required. 

    • Our Evening Scholars sites are:  Roosevelt, Grant, McDaniel, and Franklin campuses.  

    • To register, students must meet with their counselor to review their transcript, and registration is by the counselor

    Please contact your counselor, Benner for class options/availability, if you’d like to register, or if you have any questions.  Some classes fill up fast so please reach out if interested. gbenner@pps.net

  • Tour MLC!

    9/6/2023

    Exploring school options to determine the best fit for a student can be both exciting and anxiety producing. We believe getting to actually see the surrounding location and have a guided tour of the building can be very helpful in this decision-making process.  To accommodate the numerous requests for tours, we offer a monthly tour for up to 10 interested families on the second Thursday of each month at 4:00 pm and will last approximately 45-60 minutes.


    September 14 February 8

    October 12  March 14

    November 9 April 11

    December 14 May 9


    Please email Benner, our 7-12 counselor to initiate the sign up process or if you have any questions. gbenner@pps.net


    When the lottery dates are announced we will also host an evening open house event for families. Please check our website for updates.

    I support healthy work and home life boundaries and therefore do not check or send e-mails after work hours. I make every effort to respond to emails within 24-48 hours. Thank you!
