The MAST Academy Comprehensive Student Services Program is dedicated to serving the academic, personal, and post-secondary needs of each student at our school. Each counselor is committed to helping students explore their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents as their traits relate to their career, educational, and personal/social development. A Comprehensive Student Services Program is considered an integral part of the educational process that enables all students to achieve success in school and in the future. We hope that all of our students have a productive and successful year.
