What a week it was! MHS recently wrapped up an incredible homecoming week filled with spirited dress-up days, an awesome community pep rally, an exhilarating victory over Klein Oak, and a fabulous dance that brought together nearly 700 students for an unforgettable night!

The festivities kicked off with an exciting lineup of themed dress-up days that showcased everyone's creativity and school spirit. From “Swap Day” to “Jersey Day,” each day was met with enthusiasm as students and staff donned their most imaginative outfits. The halls were alive with color and energy, setting the perfect tone for the week ahead.

Midweek, the excitement reached new heights at our community pep rally, where students, staff, and families gathered to show their support for our teams. The turnout was fantastic, with an impressive crowd that filled the stands and the field. Our cheerleaders and Texas Star rallied the spirit, the band played lively tunes, and our athletes shared their excitement for the upcoming game. The night concluded with the "lighting" of the "M" and our alma mater. The sense of unity and pride was palpable, creating an atmosphere that truly encapsulated the spirit of our school community.

A highlight of the week was the announcement of our Homecoming Court, which recognized outstanding students who embody the spirit and values of our school. The crowning of Mr. and Mrs. Bulldog added to the excitement, celebrating two remarkable teachers, voted on by the student body, who have made significant impact on our students. In addition, we were thrilled to announce the Class of 2025 Homecoming King and Queen, who were crowned during half-time, adding an extra layer of joy to the celebrations.

Friday night was the highlight of our homecoming week, as our team faced off against Klein Oak. The energy in the stands was electric, with fans decked out in jerseys and school colors, cheering at the top of their lungs. Our players delivered an outstanding performance, securing a triumphant victory over Klein Oak that had everyone on their feet! The win was a testament to the hard work and dedication of our athletes, and it set the perfect tone heading into Saturday night's homecoming dance.

The homecoming dance capped off the week in spectacular fashion. With nearly 700 students in attendance, the cafeteria transformed into a dazzling venue filled with lights, music, and laughter. Students danced the night away, enjoying the lively atmosphere created by our amazing DJ and the stunning decorations. The energy was palpable, and everyone relished the opportunity to celebrate together, making memories that will last a lifetime.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and student leaders who made this week possible. Your hard work and enthusiasm truly brought our homecoming celebration to life. Here’s to many more events that bring our school community together in spirit and joy!

CHANGING STUDENT PASSWORDS - When accounts are created, they are created with an default password. Historically, students have not been required to change their password. However, this year there have been many occasions where students report that they believe their account is being logged in by somebody else and activity on their account is not something that they have done. In the technology department, we can only see the account that was logged in and the activity that was done on that account. We cannot tell who the actual person was using that device as another person. After a little background, we are asking that all students change their passwords, by following these instructions: CHANGING ACCOUNT PASSWORD VIA CLEVER. The new password will be user generated, and will only be known by that student.

MHS will NOT accept any Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. deliveries for students. Deliveries of this kind will be turned away. MHS will not reimburse any charges incurred.
