Mayfield High School Weekly Update

Welcome Back!

I hope that all of you had a fun and relaxing summer. The beginning of each school year brings excitement, a renewed focus, and a clean slate. I challenge all of our students, staff, and families to make this the best year possible. Four years go by fast! We are reminded of this each spring as we celebrate each graduating class. Take advantage of every course offered, extracurricular opportunities, dances, athletic contests, musicals, volunteer options, and more. These opportunities will help you grow holistically and help steer you on your path beyond your high school years.

Mayfield is a special place. We have a supportive community and Board of Education. I could not be more proud as a Mayfield Alum and staff member.

I look forward to opening our doors to the Class of 2026 on Thursday, August 25th and to the Classes of 2023, 2024, and 2025 on Friday, August 26th. Let's make this a special year!
