ACADEMICS & SCHOOL LIFE

Mt. Blue Campus (MBC) is the home of Mt. Blue High School (MBHS) and Foster Career and Technical Education Center (FCTEC). Traditional high school and career and technical classrooms are located side-by-side at MBC, which exposes students to a variety of subjects and provides faculty opportunities for interdisciplinary instruction.

As a student at MBHS you will have opportunities to take part in rigorous academic classes. We offer honors and advanced placement classes in many different content areas. In addition, we offer many hands-on technical classes on campus through FCTEC. Our music, art, and performing arts programs are some of the best in the state.

Through our school counseling office, students can select their classes. Students can take up to 8 classes. The list of Mt. Blue High School courses can be found in the Course of Studies and the courses offered at Foster Career and Technical Education Center can be found on their website.
Students have four (4) classes each day. There are blue days and gold days. Your blue day classes differ from your gold day classes. For example, a student might have AP US History, Honors English, Orchestra, Calculus on a blue day. Then Chemistry CP, Advanced Physical Education, Creative Writing, and 2D/3D Art on a gold day. The days alternate blue/gold/blue/gold… which are our school colors. Every day students have Academic Support time to meet with their teachers as needed.
Holidays - There are four (4) long school breaks and several three (3)-day weekends.
