Congratulations to MHS Senior Grace Troesser
Congratulations to the MHS Academic Team
MHS Academic Team took 5th place in the Centralia Tournament. In doing so, we defeated Jefferson City and Moberly. Caleb Harlan was the 10th highest scorer of the tournament. Even better, by placing 5th place, the MHS Academic Team qualified for the PACE national scholastic competition in Chicago (June 11-12). This is the first time in at least 5 years (and quite possibly, ever!) that the MHS Academic team has qualified for a national competition. Members who led the team in victory included Caleb Harlan, Jonathan Taylor, Alex Dukes, Ethan Prior, Michael Stremke, Adam Norris and Baylee Dukes.

Town Hall meeting recap
Hard copies of old backgound checks to be destroyed
The District is updating their Administrative Procedures regarding background checks. We have learned that they are not a document that we are required to keep. Effective this year, background checks will only be kept on file for one year. Each September we will notify staff via email and/or Bulldog Bytes that they are going to be shredded and what date the shredding will take place. We will provide you a copy of the background check if requested. You do not get to keep the original.
If there is a background check on file for you from any prior year until August 2015, they will be destroyed on November 30, 2016. Please note you will need to come in person and put in writing that you would like a copy of your background check.
