MPS Portrait of a Graduate: MMHS as Engaged Citizens
A very important message from our very own Mashpee TV broadcaster Cameron Peterson: Hi my name is Cameron Peterson. I am so happy to be a new broadcaster and commentator for Mashpee TV. A big thank you to Mr. Chris Ball for allowing me to be the new broadcaster. I have already worked as a commentator for 2 of the 3 home games for the Falcons this year. I am a proud Cape Codder and a member of Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe. I decided to take this role because I like football and finding something new to do. I am exploring the option of becoming a real commentator, and I may also like to go into the Air Force to help protect our country.

MMHS Builders Club – First Meeting for Grades 7-9
The MMHS Builders Club, open to all students in grades 7-9. The club gives students a chance to take on leadership roles, get involved in service projects, and make a positive impact on both our school and the wider community. One of our key projects is the Mashpee Cares Closet, which provides essentials like food, clothing, and hygiene items to families who need them. You’ll see Greenley Davis, Stasia Brann, and Izzy McCarthy in the pictures helping with this important project.
Being part of Builders Club is a great way for students to build confidence and take initiative. If your child is interested, we’d love to have them join us! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Lynch or Ms. Taylor.
MMHS American Red Cross Youth Club hosted a blood drive here at MMHS. Student Hannah Rogers wants everyone to know that MMHS is the FIRST school to have an American Red Cross Youth Club on Cape Cod. Go Falcons!
