High School Happenings

Ninth and tenth graders will schedule their classes for the 2026 -2027 school year next week. Teachers have put in recommendations for next year's core classes and students will select their electives. Current eleventh graders will meet individually with counselors. Please talk to your child to make sure they have completed this important task.

Please verify your child's schedule by February 15.

As part of the District’s Strategic Plan, annually, an anonymous online survey is administered to students in grades 6-12. The 14-question survey is designed to gather insight into student perceptions and value of school, safety, and belonging. The survey will be administered to on Wednesday, 2/4/2026

Parents can view the survey questions here. If you choose opt out your child from taking the survey, please contact your child's homeroom teacher by 2/2/2026. Each student may also choose not to take the survey or skip questions as they see fit.

Results will be posted to the district web site at a future date to be determined.

In an effort to give greater focus to our brand imagery in grades 5-12 and in response to concerns regarding use of specific native American imagery (depiction of headdress), the Methacton School District will proceed forward using only the approved imagery. Murals and other images on banners/signs etc. in our buildings that depict native American headdress will be replaced beginning in February.
