Course Selection 2022-23: World Language and CTE Engineering

Over the next week we will be sending out information about the classes we offer and the course registration process. We will highlight different academic departments and CTE pathways each day. 

World Language
​
MHHS graduation requirements require that students take at least one (1) year of a World Language OR a Visual and Performing art. Students wishing to become UC/CSU eligible must take two (2) years of the same world language.  We currently offer Spanish, French, and Chinese language courses. Next year we will be offering new advanced options with the addition of Chinese 3 and AP French Language and Culture.

CTE Engineering
​
Engineering is one of the 8 Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways that we offer. Courses in the CTE program differ from other courses in that students are immersed in hands-on learning experiences that model current industry practices. All CTE pathways culminate in a capstone course in which students demonstrate their learning in projects that they design. Engineering is offered as both a 4 year pathway in which students start as 9th graders or a 3 year pathway started in the 10th grade year. We have 161 students in our Engineering classes this year and upon graduation they will be well on their way towards careers in drafting, architecture, structural design, building department planning, city planning, and many more.

HOSA Area Leadership Conference Results

HOSA Future Health Professionals is a career technical student organization open to students in the Biomedical Pathway.  On February 27, 2022 a small group of these students (see image above) participated in a small competition at the San Joaquin County Office of Education.   Other high schools that participated in the competition included Health Careers Academy, Weston Ranch, Lathrop High School, Venture Academy, and Manteca High School.  Eleven competitive events were offered in the competition including Career Health Display, CPR/ First Aid, Extemporaneous Writing, HOSA Bowl, Job Seeking Skills, Medical Math, Medical Photography, Medical Terminology, Prepared Speech, Researched Persuasive Speech, Sports Medicine.  Mountain House students competed in all but two of the events.   The results for the day were phenomenal with the Mountain House students achieving 1st place in every event that they competed in.  Below is a list of the outstanding results.
