Any 7th or 8th grader planning on participating in a fall sport -FB/VB/CC will need to take the SWAY baseline test. This baseline test is part of our concussion management plan. You will need to finish this baseline test before you can practice or play in games. I have attached the information. If you can't get it completed we will help you get it completed at school.

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!!!
