🎶 Chorus Shines with Dr. Zigler’s Leadership! 🎶

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Zigler, our dedicated Chorus (and AP Psychology) teacher, has earned the Best Communities for Music Education Award from The NAMM Foundation. Her passion and talent continue to inspire our students, and under her guidance, our chorus students are finding their voice—literally and figuratively—through music, performance, and collaboration. Her commitment to excellence and the arts is helping shape confident, creative learners. Bravo, Dr. Zigler! 👏🎤🎼

Device Return and Renewals


Families, below you will find some information about how 12th grade students will return their Chromebooks, chargers, instructional materials, and books before Graduation, as well as information about 9th-11th grade device renewals. We wanted to ensure families knew what the expect as we head into the last few weeks of school.


Students will see a list on their eCLASS page starting May 6th that will show what items they have checked out in their name. This will be updated weekly until the last day of school.


12th Grade Device Returns:


All 12th grade students must return their checked-out materials to Mrs. Sly or Mrs Malloy in the Media Center by May 16, 2025 (the final day for Seniors). This includes:

  • Chromebook

  • Charger

  • Instructional materials (textbook, calculator, camera, etc)

  • Library Books


If any materials are lost, they must report those losses to the Media Center, and pay the fines accrued on MyPaymentsPlus. Mrs. Sly and Mrs. Malloy will be at the Graduation Rehearsals on May 12th and May 20th to continue to collect any materials.


If any material listed above is not returned by the May 20th Graduation Rehearsal, 12th grade students will not receive their Graduation tickets until those materials are received or the fines have been paid. You will find information on fines


9th - 11th Grade Device Renewals:


Beginning Tuesday, April 22nd, 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students will have their Chromebook and charger renewed during their advisement periods on Tuesday and Thursday. Classes are scheduled to come to Media Center so each student can have their Chromebook checked and renewed.


If students are not returning to MHSHS next year, they will return their device to the Media Center on May 21st after their last exam. If a student has a Chromebook with any damage, they can choose to bring it to the Media Center on May 21st after their last exam and we will send it to be fixed over the summer, and pick up their fixed Chromebook from the Media Center when school begins.


Because students will be responsible for their devices over the summer, we wanted families to be aware so they can create a plan to make sure devices are not damaged or lost over the summer.

  • Keep the Chromebook and charger in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of animals or younger members of the family

  • Remind your student to charge their Chromebook before returning to school, but they should not leave it plugged in over the summer, as that will reduce battery life


Below are the fines for devices for this year, so please ensure that they are handled with care.


Fines for Damaged or Lost Devices

  • $200 - Chromebook lost or damaged beyond repair

  • $25 each - Chromebook part damaged

  • $25 - Charger lost or damaged

Students are responsible for any loss or damage to a device checked out in their name.


Library Book Fines

  • $25 - lost library book


Instructional Material Fines

  • Cost of replacement - depends on the material


Thank you for your support as we get students through these final weeks of the school year! Go Pulse!

FAFSA Information FAFSA Information

Everything you need to know about the new FAFSA® changes


The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is the gateway to getting federal student loans, scholarships, grants, and work-study for school, but there can be so much confusion around it.

The FAFSA® used to be a super long application that took a lot of time and effort—that’s now a thing of the past. The FAFSA® for the 2024-2025 academic year is the new and improved version. Check out the link below to see all the changes!

Tips on how to avoid these common FAFSA® mistakes

Every year, families postpone filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). Some skip it entirely because they think it’s a waste of time, the application is too long, or it's only a fast track to federal student loans. However, the FAFSA® package can also include college scholarships, work-study, and grants. Not filling it out—the most costly FAFSA® mistake—can result in losing money that could have helped you pay for college. Don’t be that student, and make sure you avoid these common FAFSA® mistakes by checking out the article link below!
