Panther Talk

Mrs. Hall's Floral Design class has started a new tradition at MHS. A Texas-sized mum is on display in the cafeteria for Homecoming.

Mrs. Powell and her high school students took a short trip to Marlin to see the 'Big Boy' locomotive Wednesday.

Mart HS FCA, led by Coach Davis, organized staff and students to pray over the family of Micah Kirven Friday at the pep rally. Our thoughts go out to the Mexia ISD community and all who loved this remarkable young man.

Shepherd's Heart and MHS students have been distributing food the second Tuesday of each month from 3pm-4pm. Food distribution numbers were lower this month and we are considering changing the time. If you are someone who uses or could use this service, please complete the survey found here: https://forms.gle/ZsbvDhyp2PuDTqiE6

This year's district theme is all about history and the legacy we leave behind. We want to teach our students about Ex-Students and where they are today. We are focusing, as educators, on the impact we have on our students and how we want to be remembered. We will also assist our students in setting goals for themselves and promote not only college and career goals, but also character and integrity expectations. History has its eyes on the Panthers!

Attention Ex-Students! We want to highlight your accomplishments and dreams. Submit your story to betsy.burnett@mymartisd.org.
