Message from our Principal
Welcome back to another exciting year at McDowell High School. It is great to see our halls and classrooms filled with students again. While the start of this school year has been like no other in recent years I think our students and staff and doing a great job!!! I appreciate all your efforts to keep everyone safe and healthy such as wearing your mask properly at all times, maintaining social distance as much as possible, washing your hands regularly, and staying home if you are not feeling well. Please continue to follow all the mitigation protocols so we can keep our building open. We all know the best learning takes place with you and our teachers in the classroom.
Stay safe and healthy
