Manson 9th graders visited the Rocky Reach dam this week. During their visit, students completed a questionnaire about their working styles to find out if they were “organizers, doers, leaders, thinkers, or helpers,” and which careers with the PUD align with their interests. Students also learned about potential summer camp opportunities, internships, and apprenticeships. A special thanks to Manson grad Lupe Peterson ‘85 for the great tour!

Last week, we took a small group of students to Wenatchee Valley College for a campus tour and a visit to the Automotive Technology Center. Students learned about the Automotive Technology program, which is designed to support career pathways in automotive repair. The program provides hands-on experience using modern diagnostic tools in a state-of-the-art shop, preparing graduates to confidently launch into the workforce.

We recently hosted our very first “Home for the Holidays” event, and it was the perfect opportunity to reconnect with recent MHS graduates, and hear about their experiences beyond graduation. The upcoming class of 2026, along with ‘25 alumni played “adulting” trivia, had a “snowball” fight with hidden questions, and ate plenty of cookies. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with our seniors.
