The Welcome Center has everything families need to choose the school that is right for them. Families are also encouraged to visit Mapleton's schools to meet with directors and teachers. Ultimately, the "right" option is the one that best matches each student's own particular interests, goals and dreams for the future. We recommend parents sit down with their children and discuss what the student wants from his or her education.
