The Marysville High School STEM class, taught by Mr. Smith, spent last week focusing on the design process in engineering. Using a Sphero robot, a red cup, and their imaginations, students were tasked with designing a “Battle Bot” with the goal of knocking the cup off their opponent's device. The activity emphasized defining the problem, generating concepts, developing a solution, construction, testing, and modifying the original design to achieve the task. Working in pairs, the class created 11 unique bots and had a fun, exciting time battling it out in the arena!

Josiah Haufschild -

"Josiah is a conscientious student who asks questions and participates in class discussions. Even though he’s new to the district, he is kind to everyone he encounters and he does his best to get to know each and every student he interacts with, which speaks volumes about the kind of person he is." - Ms. Barney

Ella Carlson

"Ella is one of the most dedicated students at Marysville High School, being involved in almost every activity possible. As the head senior drum major of the Viking Regiment, Ella has been sacrificing her personal time in direct service of her classmates for two years. As a member of Symphonic Band, she plays the most challenging instrument in the ensemble and does so with such beauty of sound and care for the music that it inspires me to be a better player." - Mr. Buckley

Owen Grant

"Owen actively participates in all class discussions and activities and has been extremely helpful sharing his personal experiences with finance. He has been a great addition to my classroom."

Mr. Caza

Reese Lacher.

"Reese is an incredible student and a kind human being. I am grateful to get to start each day with Reese in my first hour freshman Algebra class. She is kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. She shows respect for others and contributes in small group and class wide discussions. She is a talented mathematician and I look forward to seeing all that she accomplishes this year in Algebra. Keep up the GREAT work Reese!" -Mr. Cottone

Trey Cummins

"Trey has been a vocal participant in class from day one. He has been willing to volunteer and use the Spanish language in the classroom. His energy has positively added to the learning experience for his classmates and me. Having him in class these first few weeks has been a pleasure." -Mr. Dalman

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible students, class advisors, and parents for their unwavering dedication in bringing this year’s homecoming floats to life! Students poured their creativity and effort into crafting stunning masterpieces for the annual parade, often staying late into the night. We also extend our gratitude to the local businesses and generous individuals who donated paint, materials, donuts, and so much more to support this effort. Your contributions made a significant impact, and we truly appreciate everything you've done to make homecoming week so special for our student body.

This year, Marysville High School is utilizing Planbook to provide students with a single location to view their upcoming assignments and assessments for their classes. Parents, you can use this tool to stay up-to-date with what your child needs to complete and prepare for each week. A link to view Planbook should have been shared with you. If not, you may email your child's teacher to request the link. We are all in this together, and the more involved you are in your child's academic journey, the more likely they are to succeed.

It is never to early to prepare for your goals after high school. Visit your counselor to gather information, ideas and learn about options.

Every Monday MHS offers peer-to-peer tutoring to help support our students. Email Ms. May or Mrs. Sophie Watson to talk about options today!

Mr. Gwisdala's class is proudly running the best Viking Cafe around, and their hard work truly shines!

A huge thank you to Mr. Gwisdala and his amazing students for bringing this delightful treat to our school community—your efforts are deeply appreciated!

On September 13th, 14th, and 15th... for the first time ever, our seniors work tirelessly to paint their parking spots out in our student lot. With parents, siblings, and friends rallying together to lend a helping hand, the energy was infectious and the excitement and music echoed throughout the lot. Each spot transformed into a vibrant canvas, showcasing the unique personalities and passions of the seniors. The creativity and heart poured into the artwork are truly inspiring, making each space a reflection of its owner. We invite everyone to come see the stunning results after school hours—you won't want to miss this beautiful display of school spirit!
