GENERAL INFORMATION:
THINKING OF ATTENDING MARS HILL?
Students transferring from other schools must have a satisfactory conduct record at their previous schools and should be in good academic standing (i.e., a 70 average or above in every academic subject). All transfer and new students are on academic and conduct probation for the first year they are enrolled and must maintain satisfactory academic, attendance, conduct and work habits in order to be readmitted.
THE SCHOOL COMES WITH SMILES!
Smiles are common at MHBS as students, parents, faculty and administration share a 'family' atmosphere. A caring, qualified faculty helps shape and mold students as they work with families to raise their children.
