Greetings!

We are very proud of our MHS scholars.  These honors listed here are on a national level.  The students listed are to be commended for their hard work on the PSAT and AP exams.
 
October 11 is a student holiday and staff development day!
 
On October 13th, MHS will have a late start for most juniors and all seniors.  This is because sophomores and some juniors will be taking the PSAT.  All students will begin 5th period at the normal time of 1:15. 
 
Finally, Red Ribbon week is coming up.  Please ask your student to join DfyIt.  Look for more info to come.
 
Thanks,
Jeff Horner
