LET’S GET THIS SCHOOL YEAR STARTED ON THE RIGHT FOOT! 👟💜

As we prepare to return to school for the 2026-2027 school year, we would like all of our MHS families and students to be aware that a portion of the main high school parking lot is now designated for MHS Staff Parking. Due to the construction project for the new elementary, we will have a limited selection of parking spaces on our campus compared to previous years. Please see the attached map and note the 2 sections in the parking lot designated for STAFF ONLY. MHS Students should NOT park in the spaces designated for MHS Staff.
GO WHIPPETS!

We're excited to have everyone back in the building this week!



CL Jones Open House is Monday, August 10th from 5:30-6:30. If you plan to attend, please use the high school parking lot due to limited space on 3rd Street. We hope to see everyone there to help kick off another great year!
