Elective Program
Starting in the 2012-2013 school year The Mulgrave Middle school adopted a new elective program involving over 80 elective classes in which students have the option to choose the course that they wish to take. All students are required to take at least four (one for the first four days of the school week (Friday's are early dismissals)). These can range from classroom math electives to organizing job shadowing off campus. This change is currently being revised as electives are not giving out homework. Some parents feel that the students are not being pushed hard enough and hence are not learning as much as they should be. The topic is still being debated by the board, the administration and parents.
