Today marked Triathlon Day for the volleyball team — a long-standing tradition now in its 18th year. We are incredibly proud of our athletes for stepping outside their comfort zones and embracing the challenge with determination and grit. Their effort and enthusiasm set a strong tone for the season ahead, and we’re excited to officially begin practice next Monday.
Parents: as we launch into the new school year, please be aware of a great resource for students who may struggle with their academics.

The MHS Whippet Band has been hard at work preparing for the 2025 marching season! Their field show this year is titled "Thor's Hammer" and will feature a story about Asgard, Mjolnir, Odin, and the Frost Giants. If you happen to catch the band in a parade this Fall, you will hear "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

Kuper Field archway project near completion! At the new archway gate entry points are now installed at the MHS football field/track!!! This was a HUGE project as these were fabricated from scratch largely by the MHS metals class. There were many individuals and local businesses that assisted with this project so it was a fantastic school and community partnership!! A special thanks goes out to the following: Bob Carlson, Rick Chramosta, Grayson Tool, Minden Machine, Vincent Sumstine, Chad Schmidt, Travis Dassinger, and all of the MHS students who worked on this project. You will be able to read more about this project in the Minden Courier in the near future!!!
