From The Principal
We have had an incredible week at MSHS! On Monday, we celebrated students across academic, activity, and athletic awards and scholarships! Thank you to our students for all of their hard work and leadership as well as the numerous families who attended and staff members who supported the event. We also distributed our beautiful yearbooks and celebrated Green & Gold Day this week! Finally, students and staff finished classes today ranging from presentations to project-based activities. Next week, we have finals on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, as well as makeup finals on Thursday. Our Track & Field team is currently competing at State! Also congrats to our Girls’ Soccer team who is competing in the State Championship on Tuesday! Go Stangs! Finally, we look forward to celebrating Class of 2023’s Graduation on Sunday, 5/21 at 1 pm on Richardson Field! We hope to see many of you there! Have a wonderful weekend!
