There is some confusion on Sway code for middle school football. The code is 5u8y9 if your child is planning to play. First practice is Monday August 17 after school. This must be completed before their first practice.

The marching band season is off to a fantastic start thanks to our leadership team, drumline, and color guard! The leadership team created specific and thorough goals to help the band succeed. The drumline and color guard got to work on technique and skills to help with section cohesion. A special thanks to MHS Alum and current UNK drumline member Evan Porter for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to seeing the full band next week starting at 8:30AM in the band room!
