The school received a $833,000 grant in return for their participation. The effort had been met with mixed reactions. Students were to stay in a school until their junior year, or to file a petition with a school administrator to transfer between programs. The "small schools" program ended in 2008, after which MTHS returned to a traditional high school format.
