Lion's Mane Parent Edition
Your home for MHS News & Events. Vol. 3, Issue 5; 9/22/2017
A Note from the Principal
Lion Nation,
I had a great moment last night at the MISD College Night event. Over one hundred colleges were represented at this annual event hosted this year by McKinney Boyd. As I was greeting parents and students, I had a parent approach me saying “I just want to tell you………..", and my first thought was "How is this going to end?" Her complete statement was, "I just want to tell you how much I appreciate Melanie Meyer." Ms. Meyer is one of our English teachers. My face lit up and the parent's face lit up, too. She was so very appreciative of the work our teachers were doing. I know school is not always perfect. But when it is, it feels good. This parent also had very good things to say about our JROTC instructor, "Gunny" Trish Ramos.
I encourage you to not hesitate reaching out to our teachers as often as you can to compliment them on the job they are doing. I promise, a little goes a long way.
I hope you have a great weekend!
