This past weekend, MHS Choir had three students audition in the last of four rounds for the Texas All State choir. This process begins with approximately 70,000 students and culminates with 1800 men and women making one of three choirs.

All three MHS young ladies made it into the Texas All State Choir and will be representing Magnolia High School. We are so proud of these three ladies and their hard work and dedication.

As educational institutions must follow the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), Google has educational restrictions on email accounts for students in kindergarten - 12th-grade. How this applies to Magnolia ISD is that Google prohibits the use of educational Google account (@mymisd.org) for use outside of the district.

It is recommended that high school students create a professional non-school-related email account that can be used for outside educational purposes. (We recommend Google as it allows for easy transfer of items from their school Google Drive to their personal Google Drive, upon graduation.) For example, if you have a student applying for scholarships using their @mymisd.org Google account, the information that is transmitted will not be sent and/or received.
