MBHS Holds Annual Kaleidoscope Conference

On Wednesday, February 9, 2022, all students at Mountain Brook High School attended the two-hour Kaleidoscope Conference throughout the school building. The conference served as a ‘career day’ for students to learn from professionals in the Mountain Brook community as well as others around the Birmingham area.
