McKinney, Texas — On Friday, Sept. 26, business professionals and Interdisciplinary Study and Mentorship (ISM) juniors and seniors from McKinney High School and McKinney Boyd High School met at the Collin College Convention Center for the annual ISM Business Symposium. Students had the opportunity to take part in interviews with professionals in their field and receive feedback on their interview skills and resumes.

MISD's ISM program is a rigorous, challenging course that provides the opportunity for academically gifted and high achieving upperclassmen to investigate a career of high interest to them through intense study, research, writing and ultimately mentorship with a professional.
