Warrior Weekly News
A Weekly Newsletter for Warrior Families and Students
March 15, 2024
Greetings Warrior Families and Friends,
Can you believe the end of our 3rd quarter is here? Maybe it was the extra sugar from all of the pies sold by our math honor society students as they celebrated National Pi Day, or possibly the fact that there are only five more days of school before we enter Spring Break, but there sure seemed to be a lot of extra enthusiasm in the building this week. Whatever the cause, it is always fun to see our Warriors so excited and energized as they strive for excellence.
A huge source of excitement this week has been the amazing trip to New York that over 200 hundred of our music students embarked upon. One highlight of the trip included our choir students getting the opportunity to perform in the historic St. Patrick’s Cathedral. A recording of this concert can be viewed here. Another memorable feature of the trip will be our marching band performing in front of an estimated two million spectators in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan. This event is considered to be the nation's oldest and largest parade. If you are interested in viewing this awesome event you can watch the livestream HERE.
This weekend is also the First Robotics Wisconsin Regional event held at Panther Arena. Our WarriorBots have been working tirelessly and are excited to compete for the opportunity to qualify for the World Championship competition held in Houston, Texas later in April. If you have never been to a robotics competition, you need to! It is nothing short of inspiring to watch the strategic game play, technical innovation, and collaborative problem solving in action. Truly there is so much to be proud of what our students do! If you can’t make it there, you can also watch our WarriorBots, team 6421, on the live stream HERE.
Now, as we head into the final week before spring break, I hope that you will take some time to encourage your students to give their best effort to make the most of this week and every opportunity we have to demonstrate what it means to be a Warrior.
As always, thank you for your continued partnership and incredible support. The amazing experiences our students receive, couldn’t happen without it.
Have an awesome weekend and GO WARRIORS!
Todd Irvine
Principal

MHS Student Parking
Dear Warrior Families,
We have reached the point in the school year where we have sold and fulfilled the number of parking passes for students that equals the number of student parking spots we have on the high school campus. We know that it is an exciting time in a teenagers life when they get their driver's license and want to continue to provide parking for new drivers moving forward. At this time if a student were to need to purchase a parking pass, it would be for our "satellite" parking lot by the soccer field. There will be a satellite lot specific parking pass issued to the student at a reduced rate of $20, students would need to register their vehicles just as in any other case. These parking passes can be picked up in the Athletic/Activities Office and paid for through Infinite Campus.
Just as a reminder, any vehicle on campus without the appropriate parking pass may be ticketed by the City of Muskego Police Department.
Please reach out to Mr. Brenton Roberts with any questions: brenton.roberts@muskegonorway.org or 262-971-1790 ext 4502
