Note from the Principal
Dear Rougher families,
If you can believe it, we’ve made it through our first quarter of the 2020-2021 school year, and needless to say, it’s a milestone worth celebrating. Our MHS students and staff have shown unbelievable grit and determination in following our healthy school practices by wearing masks, washing hands, practicing social distancing whenever possible and by disinfecting surfaces frequently. I believe it is because of each student, each teacher, each parent and each staff member showing diligence that we’ve managed to make it through the first quarter. I am aware this can change in an instant, but celebrating these small victories is so important and it keeps our resolve going in the right direction.
With that said, we are unfortunately entering cold and flu season in the midst of the pandemic, which means we must continue to protect each other while mitigating the spread of COVID. Thank you for continuing to abide by and promote healthy habits. It’s because of you that we’ve seen continued success both inside and outside of the classroom. MHS was able to safely participate in the Homecoming Coronation on Friday evening. Seeing the smiles on the faces of our students and their friends and families was worth all of the effort that our amazing staff put into the event. The Leadership class at MHS partnered with several community organizations to have a Trunk-n-Treat event in the parking lot of the high school. Having our students serve the youth of our community shows what compassion the students have and we are so very proud of their giving spirit. Our high school has been receiving some positive publicity lately with several wonderful stories and educational spotlights in the Muskogee Phoenix. Please take the time to read those articles and stories. We have great students at MHS and they are having a great year, despite the challenges and we have all of you to thank for that. It has never been a better time to be a Rougher!
Mickey Replogle
Muskogee High School Principal

MHS Needs Your Help
Little Nationals,” the oldest speech tournament in Oklahoma, was inspired eighty-three years ago by Bruno Jacob , a senior student at Ripon College In Wisconsin. In the fall of 1947,in conjunction with the Muskogee Rotary Club, J.W. Patterson of Muskogee High School put Jacob’s plans into effect to establish what was to be the largest tournament in the U.S. Hence Mr. Jacob dubbed it “Little Nationals” in 1951.
Mr. Patterson headed Muskogee’s tournament until he left to obtain his doctoral degree and became the chairman of the department of speech at the University of Kentucky. Under the direction of Joan Murray, “Little Nationals” became a qualifying tournament for Oklahoma schools in 1970. The 2020 “Little Nationals” is under direction of Mrs. Penny McGill and Sponsored by the Muskogee Rotary Club.
