Advisory and Life After
MPGs, or Mentor Project Groups, are groups to which students are assigned in their sophomore year. About 20 students are in each group, along with a "mentor" or staff member. The groups meet on Fridays from 1 to 2:55, and use the time to work on projects that benefit the school and greater Tacoma community.
Students have been accepted by some of America's leading colleges and universities including Occidental College, Lewis & Clark College, Fordham University, The University of Washington Honors Program, Bard College, New York University, Reed College, UC Berkely, Tufts University and many other leading programs.
Students have also gained access to some of America's top conservatories including Oberlin College and Ithaca College.
The Next Move department offers courses to help students learn the organizational skills needed to succeed after highschool. They help match students with community partners for career shadows and internships and ensure that every student maintains a Resume. The Next Move is staffed by career counselors and instructors who ensure that every student knows what their thirteenth year plan is.

Famous quotes containing the words advisory and/or life:
“At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
—Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)
“The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
