Extracurricular
Advanced Placement classes offer students a chance to do advanced subject work while in high school to earn college credit. After completing the class, students take a final AP Exam in May.
AP Exams are scored from 1-5; generally, a score of 3 or higher qualifies the student for of college credit. AP Credit is accepted differently at various colleges and universities. More information about AP Scores can be found here.
There is a testing fee for each test taken. Students taking AP courses are not required to take the AP test at the end of the year. Failing scores on an AP test will not appear on college transcripts unlike failed CE Courses.
Concurrent Enrollment classes offered at MMHS allow students to register for classes through Utah Valley University (UVU) and earn college credit by successfully completing the course. Students must take the ACT or Accuplacer/ALEKS test before enrolling in CE English or Math.
CE classes cannot be dropped after the college withdrawal deadline. If a student decides not to finish a class after the deadline, a failing grade will be recorded on their college transcript.
CE credit is not automatic, you must meet the requirements and pass the course. UVU requires a one-time admission fee of $35 plus $5 fee per college credit hour for all CE classes.
Students interested in earning their Associates Degree or General Education Certificate through UVU while in High School must meet with Reba Vest

2024 Valedictorian/Salutatorian Criteria
A mathematical formula is used each year to determine the MMHS Valedictorian/Salutatorian qualified candidates. This formula includes Cumulative GPA, ACT Score, and the number of Advanced Placement or equivalent courses taken. The selection committee (Steering Committee) will use this information to name a Valedictorian(s) and Salutatorian(s).
It is understood that AP Courses and Equivalent Core Courses may vary from year to year depending on availability of courses, student choice, and changes in College AP/CE Courses. This is a local program including High School Courses that are accessible to ALL MMHS Students. Classes taken on college campuses or college online courses will not be considered. AP Core and Equivalent Core Courses in the areas of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies will be used in the Valedictorian/Salutatorian selection process.
