High School Eagle Update

New Information

We are now done with another week here at MHS. Please make sure you are checking your student's grades. We want to make sure we can be proactive in supporting all of our students, and with your help, we can. To continue to build layers of support for students, we will be specifically carving out more academic enrichment time into Flex bell. Three weeks out of the quarter will be strictly for academic support and enrichment. This will give everyone a better chance to monitor our student's progress.

"It takes two flints to make a fire." – Louisa May Alcott.
