Minnewaska Career Pathways

Through the Minnewaska Career Pathways program, we offer learning opportunities that are as unique as our students. Students will be able to find their passion through three distinct career pathways: Business Communications and Entrepreneurship; Health Sciences and Human Services; and Agriculture, Engineering, Manufacturing & Technology. Students have the opportunity to prepare for specific careers and gain real-world experience, explore career and college opportunities, and partner with local businesses to expand their learning through work experience.

Build Lasting Relationships

Beginning in 9th grade, every MAHS student is partnered with an advisor to connect with throughout their next four years. Our Laker Pride Advisory provides opportunities for our students to build lasting relationships, prepare for career and college experiences, and promote student engagement and school pride.

Communication and Collaborate

Classroom is a new tool in Google Apps for Education that helps teachers create and organize assignments quickly, provide feedback efficiently, and easily communicate with their classes. Classroom helps students organize their work in Google Drive, complete and turn it in, and communicate directly with their teachers and peers.

Stay Organized

Parents have to be invited to see a child's Google Classroom or Schoology course site by the teacher, please reach out to your child's teachers to see how you can be connected to your student's course materials.

Get Involved — #WaskaPride

We believe that learning happens both inside and outside of the classroom. That’s why we are proud to offer a rich variety of extracurricular activities including academic, fine arts, and athletic activities. Over 75% of MAHS students participate in at least one of our 32 extracurricular activities.
