We will have a scholarship fair for the Class of 2024 on January 19th in the MHS Library. This will take place during all lunches and Bulldog Block periods. Seniors will have an opportunity to pick up scholarship applications and/or gain more information about the scholarships that they qualify for as they prepare for their educational opportunities after graduation.

The College & Career office is hosting an informational meeting for Freshman, Sophomore and Junior parents that are interested in learning more about Dual Credit and Advanced Academic opportunities at MHS. The meeting will cover Advanced Placement, Dual Credit and the IB program and will be held in the MHS Library on Tuesday, January 23rd beginning at 6pm.

Student Council is sponsoring a Backpack & More Drive. We have current students at MHS in need of the following items. All collected items will stay with our campus and will be distributed through a program in collaboration with our counseling office. All items can be brought to room 1419.

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.
