We are very excited to welcome motivational speaker and USA Paratriathlete Robert Anthony to MTHS on Wednesday, January 31st. Anthony’s visit is sponsored by our school administrative team and the Unified Redbirds program here at MTHS. Anthony is a U.S.A. amputee Soccer player, USA Paratriathlete, U.S.A Sitting Volleyball A2 player, and Para Spartan Competitor. We are excited to hear his message: "Lead With Love" and with a Positive Mental Attitude "Anything's Possible".
