🚗💨 BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MTHS 2026 TEACHER OF THE YEAR! 🏆🎉
Let’s give a massive Redbird round of applause to the one, the only, Mike Brockhouse! Mike is the 2026 Metamora Township High School Teacher of the Year!
For years, Mike has been the calm, brave soul in the passenger seat, teaching generations of Redbirds how to safely navigate the roads as our beloved Driver’s Ed instructor.
🛑 A Well-Deserved Honor (and a New Destination!)
This award is incredibly special because this school year marks Mike’s final lap. He will be retiring at the end of the year, trading in the dual-brake passenger seat for some well-deserved open roads and relaxation.

Girls' Tennis Camp is cancelled for today, Monday, June 8th due to weather. The courts are currently very wet, which makes for dangerous, slippery conditions. The rest of the week looks very promising! We will use our rain date on Friday, 6/11 to make up for today's cancellation. See everyone tomorrow on the courts! Questions, contact Coach Cooper at jcooper@mths.us.
