Counseling

MHS Counselors pose while smiling at the camera

Our counseling programs focus on helping students with academic achievement, social and emotional learning, and personal/career development. Each student has an opportunity to work with their school counselor to

understand their growth and development, monitor and take action on any personal or academic issues, and plan for next steps.

MHS counselors monitor academic progress using real-time data to identify supports, resources, and interventions to keep students on track to graduate and be successful. We also provide support for parents and guardians by keeping them informed of student progress, initiating partnerships for student learning and career planning, and promoting relationships to ensure post-secondary planning.

Helping students to develop their ability to make personal, social, career and educational decisions that foster effective positive change is vital for their success, growth and maturity.

Why should my student take Advanced Placement Courses?

Many of Mustang’s seniors are able to leave high school and start college at a sophomore level. Besides concurrent enrollment, in which students can take classes for credit with several area colleges, Mustang Public Schools also offers 16 Advanced Placement courses which could allow a student to potentially earn college credit.

Advanced Placement courses are rigorous and require additional work outside the classroom. After the course is completed, students can sign up to take an exam over the material for $95. Financial aid is available to families who meet the requirements. Test registration is done online in the spring, starting in January and through March 1. The date for AP exams are set by the college board; Mustang Public Schools does not set testing dates.

Scoring for the tests ranges from 1 (low) to 5 (high). Colleges may grant college credit depending on the score, but individual requirements may vary.

Advantages of AP classes and testing include:

Better preparation for college
Preferential entry to selective colleges and possible advanced standing
Reduced college expenses
The students may earn a designation of AP Scholar at graduation and be recognized at an AP reception by scoring 3 or higher on at least 3 AP exams

Grade Scale for:

Accelerated Course (formerly Pre-AP) = .5 added to GPA
AP = 1 point added to GPA

Mustang offers the following AP classes: AP American History, AP Art History, AP Calculus, AP Chemistry, AP Computer Science, AP English III, AP English IV, AP Environmental Science, AP European History, AP European History, AP Human Geography, AP Physics, AP Psychology, AP Government and AP Statistics, AP Spanish Language.

For more information on Advanced Placement tests, contact Jason Limke, High School Counselor and AP Coordinator at 405-376-7343.

Worker's Permit Form

Please print the FORM (paper copies of Form 600 are available in the MHS Counseling Office) and complete it with your work supervisor and your parent/guardian. Once the form is completed, bring it to the Mustang High School Counseling Office to obtain the actual Work Permit Form 601 to take back to your work supervisor.

* The student should be newly hired prior to filling out this request because the actual Work Permit application requires your employer/supervisor to fill out a section of the form. *
