College & Career Planning
The MBHS College & Career Center, as well as the Counseling Team, utilize CaColleges.edu to assist students with college and career exploration and planning. San Luis Coastal Unified School District partners with CaColleges to provide this FREE platform to our students.
All SLCUSD students automatically have a CaColleges account, and should always login with their SLCUSD student account using the single sign on function.
Community Service
Community service is not a MBHS graduation requirement, however it is highly encouraged for all students!
- Students can add their experiences to a resume and/or college applications.
- Community service can assist students in finding their interests!
Any MBHS student who has completed 80 or more LOGGED community service hours by May of their 12th grade year will be eligible for the Mayor's Community Service Award presented by the City of Morro Bay. Those students will be invited to an official city council meeting to be honored for their service to our community.

Scholarships & Financial Aid
Scholarships:
Scholarships are a GREAT way to assist in paying for your post high school plan, whether that be college or a career training program! Scholarships are FREE money that does NOT have to be repaid, thus making it the most ideal form of financial aid.
Students are encouraged to apply to as many MBHS and outside scholarships as they are eligible for! See the links below for additional information.
- The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the application students use to apply for federal financial aid for college, including grants, work-study, and federal student loans. Completing the FAFSA can help you understand what financial aid you may be eligible to receive.
- Students will apply beginning October 1st in their senior year of highschool.
- The CADAA (California Dream Act Application) allows eligible California students who do not qualify to submit the FAFSA to apply for state financial aid. This may include the Cal Grant, Middle Class Scholarship, and other state aid to help make college more affordable.
- Students will apply beginning October 1st in their senior year of highschool.
Cuesta College
Cuesta College, our local community college, offers classes at their main campus in San Luis Obispo, the North County Campus in Paso Robles, and the South County Center in Arroyo Grande. MBHS students have the opportunity to take courses while in high school and enroll in Cuesta full-time following high school graduation. Cuesta offers a variety of instructional programs; from lower division academic transfer courses, career technical education courses, short courses, distance education (online), to day and evening classes.
If your student is interested in taking a Cuesta College class while still in high school, please encourage them to make an appointment with their MBHS counselor!
