The goal of Career and Technology Education is to provide students with a selection of career based coursework that exposes them to a variety of careers. The teachers are devoted to guiding students along the career path of their choice.

Students choose a career path/major and then select courses that correspond to their choice. They are given opportunities to join student organizations and participate in work-based learning related to their career choice. In addition, the Career and Technology Department has an articulation agreement with Horry Georgetown Technical College which gives students the opportunity to be exempt from some courses at HGTC by taking them at MBHS.

Currently, MBHS offers courses within the following major areas:

• Health Science

• Sports Medicine

• Hospitality and Tourism

• Family and Consumer Science

The CTE department also sponsors three different student organizations: Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA), DECA and National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) to help students get involved in their various areas of interest. If you are interested in joining any of these organizations, please ask your CTE teacher!

The NJROTC program was established by Public Law in 1964 and may be found in Title 10, U.S. Code, Chapter 102.

We strive to teach students the importance of lifelong physical activity through individual and team activities.

We all take pride in teaching students how important hardwork, discipline, responsibility, and dedication is to be successful in life.

The mission of the MBHS Science Department is to develop students who are scientifically literate and globally aware. Scientific reasoning, problem solving, laboratory activities and experimentation are essential components of every course. In order to graduate from Horry County Schools, a student must take a minimum of three science classes (Physical Science, Biology, and Chemistry), although we strongly recommend that every student take a science course each year. College-bound students must take a fourth course which has a prerequisite of Biology and/or Chemistry. The nine highly qualified members of the Science Department are working together this year to develop common assessments for all subjects and to increase the use of guided inquiry in our classrooms. Each science teacher is available for tutoring if a student needs extra help.
