Warrior Weekly News
A Weekly Newsletter for Warrior Families and Students
March 8, 2024
Greetings Warrior Families and Friends,
Who is ready for Daylight Saving this weekend? Okay, better question. Who is ready for Spring Break? Who is ready for the end of our third quarter? Ready or not, all of these events are coming up over the next two weeks, so let’s make the most of each and every day.
Speaking of making the most of every day, a huge shout out to our girls gymnastic team on winning the WIAA State Championship this past weekend! Our Warriors were led by Kaylee Stoeger, Ellie Johnson, and Grace Hibler. In addition to the team title, Kaylee Stoeger won an individual state title on the uneven bars and placed 2nd in the overall competition. Ellie Johnson also had huge performances earning a 2nd place finish on the vault, 2nd place finish on the bars and 3rd place overall. Congratulations on yet another amazing season! Huge props also go out to our boys wrestling team, who finished as a top-four team at the WIAA Team State tournament on Friday night. Way to go WARRIORS! Other highlights from the week included our stellar band rocking the PAC at their Spring Concert. Additionally, our incredible Warrior Bots kicked off their season with an impressive 4th place finish at the Northern Lights Competition in Duluth, Minnesota. Not to be out done, our Forensics team continues its winning ways led by sisters Rouya and Pariya Mirzaei who earned their third consecutive gold in group speaking! For additional highlights on these events and more, click on the Warrior Athletics Update below.
Please don’t forget to remind your students of the altered school day on Tuesday, March 12th. Only our juniors will be in person, as they will be completing the state required ACT exam. The result of this test can help students access two and four year colleges, technical schools, many apprenticeships, and countless scholarships. Our juniors have been working so
hard and we know they are going to do great! The remainder of our student body, current freshman, sophomores, and seniors, will have remote learning activities for the day. If you have any questions, please contact us.
As always, we can’t thank you enough for your unwavering support. MHS shines brightly because of the incredible partnership and backing of our families and community. Let’s keep the momentum going and finish out 3rd quarter strong!
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
