INSPIRE HIGH SCHOOL

1. “MC festival” is an annual special course involving our school teachers and outside lecturers with the purpose of
promoting learning outside of the classroom after school. It is an event that holds multiple lectures to help draw a
picture of possible futures and bringing those futures to fruition. Holding these lectures help to reconfirm that
students are learning and moving towards their goals.

 2. “SAMD” is an event in which approximately 40 former students who graduated from Mukonoso comprehensive high
school return and talk with our current 2nd year students about their current lives and careers. We aim to support
the career planning of our current students through these personal human relations and communications as part of
the foundations.
