Model State:
Each year, about 20 students from MMHS participate in this activity that provides an insightful view into how our government functions. Those who wish to participate write a bill and observe it as it goes through the legal process of either being passed or being "killed", as they say in the state house. Students go to Augusta and take over the State House for the weekend and pass or kill bills, just like real politicians. The MMHS section of the program is headed by Mrs. Cobb, our business technology teacher.

Close-Up Washington:

This year, Mrs. Albee is taking about 10 students to Washington, D.C. to participate in the annual Close-Up Washington, D.C. program. In this program, students raise money all year to fly down to D.C. and learn tons about how the federal government works. They listen to lectures given by political figures, tour D.C. with the Close-Up group, and meet kids from all across the country participating in the program. The program attracts thousands of kids from across the country and is an educational yet fun experience.
