MST Weekly Update
March 7, 2025

Good afternoon to all of our MST family members.
As we enter the month of March, we are midway through the third quarter of the school year. Progress report grades for CTE classes are posted.
As the days get longer and occasionally warmer, the chances of additional snow days begin to lessen. However, we can still have them in March and April (April 4th last year was a snow day!). At this time, there is one more snow day built into the calendar. Any additional days would be remote learning days.
Don't forget to turn the clocks ahead (Spring Forward) on Saturday night. And of course, check the batteries in your smoke detectors!
CTE Program Collaboration At Its Best!
The Griffin's Den school store and event hub was gifted a stunning new hand-crafted stage and back drop built by carpentry students for all MST students to enjoy! Business and Marketing students look forward to hosting guest speakers, student musicians, art exhibits and much, much more in our upgraded community space!
Scholarship Information
Scholarships for trade schools, 2 year and 4 year schools have begun opening up and can be found on Xello. New scholarships are being added daily so seniors and early graduates should check back frequently for new opportunities. Also, please pay close attention to the due dates associated with each scholarship.
Students should connect with their school counselor if they have any questions.
Career Fair
Bedford High School will be hosting a Career Fair on Thursday, March 20th from 6-8pm in our BHS Commons (Cafeteria). Students from the surrounding area are welcome to attend!
There will be representation from a variety of professional fields and trades as well as career focused organizations such as Apprenticeship NH and Bring Back the Trades.
2025-2026 School Calendar (Redesigned)
Here is a newly redesigned copy of the 2025-26 school calendar that is designed to be more user friendly.
Class of 2025 Graduation
MST's Class of 2025 graduation has been set for 8:00 AM on Saturday June 14th. It will take place at the SNHU arena a where it has been for the past several years. Admission tickets are not required so there is no limit on the number of guests that you can invite.
A reminder to parents of anticipated graduates that a student must meet all graduation requirements prior to June 14th, or they will not be able to participate in the graduation ceremony. If that were to happen, they will receive a diploma upon completion of the required classes during summer recovery. Letters will be sent out in early April to the parents/guardians of any anticipated graduate who is falling behind in meeting graduation requirements.
