Miss Hall's School Photo - Wednesdays are for Horizons at MHS. Ninth grade students immerse themselves in on-campus workshops and projects that prepare them for future Horizons work. Sophomores, juniors and seniors spend the morning volunteering or immersed in professional internships around the Berkshire community or leading on-campus, independent projects that shape the world around them.

St. Michaels University School Photo - Learning is hands on, with students often leaving campus to experience real-world examples of what they are studying. An example is this AP Environmental Science field trip to the Bamfield Marine Centre.
