Supporting Our Military-Connected Students
At Mountainside High School, we recognize the unique experiences and challenges military-connected students and their families may face, particularly during changes in duty assignments, deployments, separations, and transitions between schools.
MHS is committed to providing a welcoming, supportive, and seamless transition for our military-connected students. Our goal is to help every student quickly feel connected to their new school community, access the resources they need, and continue progressing toward their academic and personal goals.
No matter where your journey has taken you, there is a place for you in the Wolf Pack.
