Read MoreThis Friday students, grades 7-12, will have an opportunity to participate in a Student Homework & Workload Stress survey. This is an internal survey designed to assess the current stress levels of students at MHS.
We are hoping to get feedback from our students regarding their perceived stress level at school, their opinions regarding differing school schedules such as later start times and/or early release times, in addition to other general questions relating to ways school spirit can improve at MHS.
While we encourage students to participate in the survey, this survey is completely optional. If you or your student wishes to opt-out of the survey on Friday, simply reply to this email and we will have an alternative task for them to do during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact the HS Office at 360.249.4041.

Read MoreLocker assignments for next year will take place between June 8 through June 13 during lunches. Each grade has a specific assignment date. If you have a locker preference, make sure you have the locker number. Locker choices for each grade are posted on the wall by those lockers. Remember that lockers are on a first come-first served basis. Locker priority will be given to those students with a full schedule at MHS. Additionally, those students with perfect attendance during term 4 will have first opportunity at locker selection.
If you are going to be gone during your locker assignment date, you may have a friend pick your locker for you – however they will need to bring a signed note from you giving them permission to make that selection. Also, if students don't have a locker preference, they don’t have to wait in line on their assigned date. We will make sure every student has a locker when we return in August.
Locker assignment dates will take place during lunches on the following dates:
Current Juniors - Wednesday, June 8
Current Sophomores – Thursday, June 9
Current Freshmen – Friday, June 10
7th & 8th Grade – Monday, June 13
