As we continue this season of gratitude, we want to express our appreciation to all the Veterans and their families in our school community and beyond. We are incredibly grateful for the freedom and opportunities that you have provided for us.

We are grateful to the families participating in parent-teacher conferences this past week. Don't forget that our staff can be reached through email. Please be sure to include your name and your student's name in the correspondence. On Tuesday, our staff had the opportunity to tour CTE labs and learn about opportunities within different pathways. Our CTE teachers' talent, experience, and knowledge are unparalleled.

Remember that our next Pathway Day is coming up on December 5th during the 7th period. All students, 9-12, regardless of their class schedule, are expected to attend their pathway meeting.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Mat Su Career and Technical High School.

Students will be taking the Student Climate & Connectedness Survey on Wednesday, November 13th during their 5th period class (Teachers are aware which students have already been opted out).

The purpose of this survey is to find out what groups think about the safety and climate of their Mat-Su Borough School District (MSBSD) school, as well as find out whether or not groups feel connected to others at their school.
