International Students - Hola !

Thais, our international student from Brazil was a pleasure to have at our school and I thank her for her willingness to share her thoughts with us. I will seek to publish her post in her native language soon. Her comments illustrate the impact studying overseas can have on a student's life. I'd like to thank our students and staff for embracing our international students and their cultures and languages, that is something MLSHS can be proud of fostering, a wonderful tradition that continues.
