Manitou Springs High School

It has been an exceptional week at MSHS! During our Professional Learning Committees on Late Start Wednesday, it was so inspiring to work with staff on developing ambitious goals that center student achievement!

Additionally, please join us in sharing a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS with the Prospector staff and Amanda Kerrigan for winning All Colorado Honors for their news website as well as 2nd place for all 3A/4A schools in Colorado for Best of Show based on their work thus far this year!

Looking to the future, we’re pumped for Homecoming next week! Go Stangs!

If you missed the senior parent night, please stop by the front desk and pick up an ordering packet for cap & gown, graduation announcements, senior gear and class rings. Jostens will return on Tuesday, September 19th during lunch to collect orders in person. You may also view all the ordering information and/or also place your order online at www.jostens.com. Extra packets will be available in the Counseling Center after the meeting. MSHS is using a custom cap & gown, so it is very important that all seniors need to order one by the deadline. The ordering deadline is November 15th. If you have any questions, please email joe.adducci@jostens.com. Celebrate your Senior Year and Graduation in style!!

As part of the cultural immersion experience, members of the Spanish Club are learning how to salsa dance. We'll be spending a few Fridays learning the basic steps, with hopes of having a dance party during lunch during the first few weeks of October. There's still time to join the Spanish Club and enjoy these fun activities.

Students bowl with equipment purchased using the CDE grants through DonorsChoose. Several of our teachers were awarded grants through this program.

The Knowledge Bowl Team took 3rd place out of 12 teams at its recent tournament! The team had a tournament at Pine Creek High School. They missed second place by one question. Way to go!
