    Attention Current Juniors!

    The Summer Training in Academic Research (STAR) Program at Duke University provides a high-quality research experience for undergraduate students, high school students, medical students, and middle and high school teachers during the summer academic break.

    The six-week program will give participants who are interested in science and medicine real, hands-on experience in research methodology and writing. Participants are placed in teams and matched with Duke faculty mentors to work on an original, hypothesis-driven project, originating as a one-page summary and culminating in a complete research paper. A goal of the program is to have every participant qualify for co-authorship on a peer-reviewed manuscript related to their team’s project.

    The STAR Program is held at the Duke Clinical Research Institute in Durham, N.C., which has organized educational and support programs for junior faculty, fellows, residents, medical students, as well as high school and college students. Participants receive a stipend to attend, which makes the program an option even for students who plan to work over the summer break.

    This program takes place from June 23 to July 25, 2025.  Click on the website to learn more about this awesome opportunity! The deadline is January 3, 2025 at 11:59 p.m.

    Attention Sophomores and Their Parents/Guardians 

    Are you considering joining the MHS IB Diploma Programme? The Diploma Programme is a demanding and rewarding academic programme that will prepare students for college and future challenges. It is designed for motivated students who enjoy the learning process and want to challenge themselves and grow personally, academically, and intellectually. One recent graduate described his experience in the Diploma Programme as “the highlight of my high school experience!” Another graduate described it as “a community, an experience, and nothing short of life-changing.”

    Go to bit.ly/MillbrookDPinfomeeting to sign up to attend a Small Group Informational Meeting. The student and at least one parent are required to attend. Contact the IB Diploma Programme Coordinator, Dr. Kristen Gentile at kmgentile@wcpss.net if you have questions.

    School-Based Mental Health

    School Based Mental Health is a program that allows district approved mental health therapists to provide diagnostic mental health assessments and outpatient psychotherapy to a small number of students at your school during school hours.  SBMH would be especially appropriate for students who may be experiencing barriers in obtaining services on their own.  The therapist will provide confidential mental health treatment equivalent to private counseling services that historically have been accessed outside of school.  This decreases the amount of instructional time that students may miss to obtain important and needed services.The mental health provider will independently conduct their billing process through Medicaid, private insurance, with some pro bono options for extenuating circumstances.

    If you would like additional information, please reach out to your child’s Alpha-Counselor!
