MHS juniors & seniors were given the opportunity to sign up to attend a campus visit to Central Community College in Hastings this week. The students who went got a campus tour and learned a lot about the majors the college offers.
The MHS SADD Club promoted safe driving this week by providing information in the daily bulletin about seat belt safety and by painting new "BUCKLE UP" signs on the high school parking lot exits.
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is now OPEN! Members of the class of 2025 can now complete it. Follow the steps on the included info sheet.
Congrats to Mattie Kamery for signing to continue her academic and athletic career at Wayne State College for volleyball! Mattie had a fantastic volleyball career at MHS and we can't wait to see her compete at the next level!!
Hello, fans! We must send our State Wrestling ticket orders soon and hope to send the order by Dec. 2nd. Cindy Smith is taking the the money, and she is graciously sending in the order. $36 gets you tickets to all boys sessions for one person. We should be able to get more people than last year since we were limited, but many unknowns are still present. I’d recommend ordering tickets for yourselves and any family who might be interested. I imagine you’d be able to get any extras sold. Last year, over 150 people bought tickets (we were then limited), and maybe this year we can have the biggest crowd we have had. It’s going to be a great year! You may reach out to Cindy Smith or Keaton Gracey if you’re interested. Thank you!
