Empowering Students & their Families through Community Connections!
EVERYONE needs help sometimes!
The MUHS Hope Center is dedicated to creating a positive environment where students feel supported to achieve their goals in the classroom and beyond. We are here to give students the tools they need to be successful, which can be as simple as a toothbrush or a notebook, all the way up to assisting the entire family with referrals to community organizations who can be a resource for their larger needs.Sarah Garrett ~ Community & Family Outreach Coordinator Call: 928-263-2875 | Email: sgarrett@muhs.com

LOW INCOME STUDENT AID - L.I.S.A. (http://azlisa.org)
The mission of LISA is to enrich the educational experience of low-income, public-school students in the Verde Valley by providing aid directly to students, and indirectly to schools. LISA works to bridge the gap between traditionally available forms of aid and a variety of student needs which impact educational success, holistic student health, inclusion, and self-esteem.
LISA provides crucial support to many Verde Valley students. Our assistance helps ensure students have the resources needed to succeed academically, emotionally and physically. LISA assists in covering costs for essential items such as clothing, bedding, hygiene items, school supplies and extracurricular activities including field trips, camps and sports.
