"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." It was a grand time last week in senior English as students finished the great American classic, The Great Gatsby, and attended a very important funeral for the characters. #neverstopreading #thegreenlight
Ms. Cooper's classes are mourning the deaths of Myrtle and Gatsby today with a funeral in the library. Cake, ice cream, costumes, and some animated reading (and some fake tears from the mourners) make the bereaved library/funeral home a literary stage. Props to T Coop for the drama and fun!
Congrats to our JV Tennis team on their amazing finish this season in their final tournament last weekend. Alexis Mogul won 2nd place in #1 singles. Alivia Spencer won 3rd place in #2 singles.

Student Council has so much to be thankful for this Homecoming season.

Thank you to everyone!

Leadership Shines Bright! ✨
We're thrilled to celebrate three of our outstanding students—Griffin Hanson, Mitchell Hohulin, and Cooper Facker—on their recent accomplishments in National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), a premier leadership program from Scouting America!
Griffin and Mitchell recently completed the intensive week-long training, which transforms participants into the next generation of leaders. Cooper served as Staff for the training, further demonstrating his commitment to mentoring and leadership.
NYLT integrates modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience, covering topics like:
* Communicating
* Finding Your Vision
* Setting Your Goals
* Solving Problems
* Developing a Team
* Servant Leadership
* Embracing and Leading Change
The skills they've gained will not only benefit them but also MTHS and our wider community. A study even shows that Scouts earn higher grades and are more likely to participate in after-school activities!
Join us in congratulating Griffin, Mitchell, and Cooper! We can't wait to see how they apply their new skills to make a difference at school and beyond.
