We are sending out a Week at a Glance (WAAG) as a means to inform students and parents of the upcoming important events and announcements for the week. For general information, please visit our website by clicking the button below.

Thank you for making last week the best back to school week ever. This week is going to be even better as we show our Aztec spirit! We can’t wait to see you participate and connect to with your classmates and staff. Go Aztecs!

Information on New Process to Get Cleared

For Sports Clearance, we will no longer be using Register My Athlete. Instead we are with a new company called Home Campus.

As we get ready for the Fall Sports Season, you will need to get your athlete cleared to participate in tryouts.

Your student will need a physical dated after 12/1/2023 and proof of insurance. Both of these will need to be uploaded to complete the registration process.
A copy of the physical form has been attached to this message along with directions on how to complete the Home Campus registration process.

Please Click Here to register your Athlete: www.homecampus.com/login
**If you are registering as a manager, you do not need a physical - however you will need to upload a blank document to complete the registration process.

If you have any questions, please contact our Athletic Director, Coach Martin.

Stay tuned for more information about The STAY Program. In the meantime, visit the STAY Office in the middle of campus before and/or after school.

Montgomery High is a Title I School. Title I is a federal program that provides extra funding to eligible schools to improve the academic achievement of students. All programs funded with Title I dollars must be used to enhance the school programs of the school. In order for schools to qualify for Title I, 35% or more of the students must be considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. The goals of a Title I Program include the following: increase student academic achievement, provide direct instructional support to students, develop professional development for teachers and to promote parent engagement and education. All Title I programs must be included in the school’s Site Plan for Student Achievement. This plan is developed and monitored by the School Site Council and English Language Advisory Committee. Please contact the Parent Center staff if you have any questions related to Title I.
