MHS Club Fees
We encourage all of our students to be active members of our MHS community. One of the ways to do this is to be involved in a club or sport at MHS. This is just a sampling of some of the things we have to offer. You can always refer to our Daily Bulletin for meeting times and locations for any clubs at MHS!
Now that our clubs are up and running club fees are now due. Please use our online payment system Unibank linked here (or on the MPS homepage) to pay all club fees. The cost is $25 per club with a cap of $50 per student per year. Thank you for your prompt payment of club fees.
