Promoting Character at MJH!
Students spend much of their young lives in classrooms, and we understand that learning the core subjects are incredibly important academically. However, if we are not educating the next generation to be decent human beings to one another, then what’s the point of it all? This year, we are encouraging our students to be young men and young ladies of character. We want them to form their own moral compass, based on core values and timeless principles we will be promoting through out the year. Our hope is that our students will become responsible citizens that are committed and competent in making good decisions. Principles such as respect, responsibility, caring, trustworthiness, and citizenship will be presented throughout the year from our character word of the week morning announcements. Our administrators will have positive student discussions with groups weekly, and our counselors’ will share character lessons with classes. We know that students need educators in their lives to set high standards and expectations for good behavior, and we strive to make a positive difference in our school’s culture of kindness and respect by reinforcing exemplary character at MJH at all times.
Stay tuned each month for more on how we are promoting young men and young ladies of Character.

Lunch Visitors
A friendly reminder, we do not have an open lunch policy so please do not order food for your child from outside vendors to be delivered to the school during the school day (i.e. Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Door Dash, or any kind of delivery service). This is a safety concern that disrupts the educational process within our community and random people delivering food is not part of our safety plan. In addition, please do not not bring or share lunches with other students due to safety, medical concerns, allergies, etc. We do have a parent lunch table now for parents to eat lunch with their student and a friend.
Parent Drop Off Table: If your child forgets their lunch, we have a parent drop off table in the front foyer for you to drop off lunches. Please let your child know you have brought their lunch to school.
