MT's purpose is to educate and empower students to become responsible citizens.
A Few Words From the Principal
What a wonderful week. Beautiful weather and school for the entire week.
This week the admin team and counselors started meeting with students individually to talk about how the school year is going and to set goals for the rest of the year and state assessments. I have enjoyed talking with the students and learning more about each one of the them. I am looking forward to more conversations as we have set the goal to talk with each student individually before spring break. We want our students to know we care about them and we want them to be successful.

After School Community Service Event
Is your student interested in getting some community service hours? Do they like serving others? If yes, then PTA has an event for you! After school on Monday, March 10, we will be packing sack lunches for Metro Lutheran Ministry. Students must register on our sign-up genius to participate. We could use some parent volunteers, so please sign up if you are willing to help as well!
