Pep Rally Wednesday, November 11 @ Mustang Stadium 6:30 pm
You are invited to attend, along with extended family and friends. Anyone wanting to show support for MWHS is invited.
There is no charge to attend, and the rally should conclude around 7-7:15 PM. As this is a school sponsored event on MWHS campus, we respectfully ask that all attendees comply with Governor Abbott’s order and TEA/UIL guidelines and wear a face covering and practice social distancing in the stadium. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
The MISD Food Truck will also be on campus before and after the rally for you to enjoy a meal. They will serve burgers and fries ($7) with a drink ($2). It would help us prepare better if we knew about how many meals we need to serve. So, if you can click the link below to let us know if you will purchase a meal, that would be a big help. Regardless, we will have enough meals for anyone who wants to purchase one.
