Today in Honors British Literature, the witches cast a spell to reveal to Macbeth his seemingly secure future, but if we've learned anything from this play, it's that "Fair is foul..."








Huge thank you to Eric Hodel from Midwest Foodbank for being our guest speaker this morning at Key Club. He challenged our students to keep volunteering and serving our local communities because the need is great. Our kids had the opportunity to package goods last week that will be shipped South for those in need.
Additionally, we are excited to announce that the 2025-2026 MTHS Key Club group won the Salvation Army Young Leadership Award.










Come out on March 14th to MARS/WARS Open House. Meet the team, learn what they have done this season, and see the robot in action.
