MHS NEWS

The first semester of the 2013-2014 school year has flown by and we are already mid-way through the third nine weeks.  Semester one has been successful with a 94% average student attendance and other note worthy accomplishments.

Semester one saw our school recognized by the OEM as a high achieving high school and one of the top schools in the state for growth in EOC geometry scores.  We had several teachers secure classroom grants this semester, and our students have performed well both academically and in extra-curricular events such as Quiz Bowl and athletic competitions.
The second semester at high school is always very busy with EOC testing and year end activities.  I would encourage all students and parents to check the school calendar on the district website frequently for dates and times of important events.  After school tutoring for EOC English and Algebra I is already underway, and geometry tutoring will begin soon.  Please encourage your child to attend all EOC tutoring, and feel free to call his/her teacher or the office if you have any questions about this program. 

In addition to the after-school program, I want to remind parents about our Do Not Disturb Days and inform you that we are beginning a vocabulary word of the day study.  We encourage you to make every effort to help us protect instructional time during DND days and to take part in our vocabulary word review.   Your input and involvement is important to us at MHS, and we encourage you to become involved in helping us be the best that we can be.


MHS Theme for the year…..Cooperate with others; compete with yourself!
