Parent of the Class of 2027

My student will feel more comfortable and confident in her first year of high school. It helped her a lot, and as a parent, I feel more comfortable knowing that she will be ok at Mullen! This program helped my two kids get more comfortable. For our family, this is our second year participating in the Summer Bridges experience!

Student Class of 2028

Coming to Summer Bridges to the New Student Success Strategies and Math Jumpstart helped me to be able to get to know who my future classmates are going to be, but it also helped me get an idea of what my next 4 years here at Mullen are going to be like.
