MASD Key Goals
Continuous Academic Growth
Instructional Programs that Support College and Career Readiness
Social-Emotional Learning
Taking college/career readiness to the next level
The national superintendent's group has advocated moving away from one overall measure of readiness (like ACT) and instead focusing on a dashboard of indicators. This better matches the MASD commitment to a comprehensive high school model, and we will focus on identifying our indicators of success in this area over the next year.

How is MHS addressing these needs?
Labor market data for Waukesha county suggests that the hot jobs in the next 6-7 years will be in the following career clusters: Health Sciences, Architecture & Construction, and Business Management & Administration. Statewide the fastest growing job is in Information Technology.
Mukwonago High School provides students with many opportunities in these “hot job” areas that culminate in opportunities for students to participate in work-based learning (Youth Apprenticeships, State-certified and internal co-ops, job shadows, industry tours), Dual-Credit, and Advanced Standing courses.
