May 12th Meeting
We had our 
MCAT student of the month Nicolas Pena. Nic has been at MCAT HS since last year and has had his shares of struggles with getting on track academically. At one point during his time at MCAT he was on Academic Probation and had to work with his support team to earn his way back into good standing, or face finding another school to attend. Nic has worked though these challenges and many others in his personal life. The staff at MCAT regularly is impressed with Nic’s quiet leadership and determination to see things through. When he was younger he lived in Phoenix with his aunt due to the fact that his parents were in prison. Early in his high school career he moved to Tucson with his uncle. He never really put school first and wasted a lot of time on other pursuits. Recently he committed to graduating so he can move on with his career goals. Currently he is completing 3 math classes, 2 English classes, electives and Economics to finish his diploma. He expects to have this done this May.
