Resetting Expectations: Personal Technology Devices at MHS
As we move deeper into the school year, Mitchell High School is recommitting to a focused, distraction-free learning environment. Beginning next week, we will be resetting expectations for student use of Personal Technology Devices (PTDs) during the instructional day.
To support this effort, all PTDs must be secured in Yondr pouches from the first bell to the last. This includes cell phones, smartwatches, and any other non-instructional electronic devices.
Why the Reset? We’ve seen the impact that unrestricted device use can have on student engagement, academic performance, and social interaction. By reinforcing our Yondr policy, we aim to:
- Maximize instructional time
- Minimize distractions
- Promote face-to-face communication
- Support mental wellness
What to Expect:
- Students will be reminded daily to secure their devices in Yondr pouches.
- Staff will conduct periodic checks to ensure compliance. The 1st one will be on Monday October 13th in the Auditorium by graduating class.
- Devices found outside of pouches during instructional time will be collected and returned at the end of the day, with progressive consequences for repeated violations.
Support & Accountability We ask for the support of our families in reinforcing this expectation at home. Please remind your student of the importance of staying present and focused during the school day.
Together, we can create a learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive—free from digital distractions.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact the MHS Discipline office 719-328-6685.

On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, Free College Application Days were held in the Mitchell High School Library from 8am-11am. Nine colleges and universities were at Mitchell to answer questions and help students with their applications. Some students also attended a session in the Future Center to learn about NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) eligibility requirements. Special thanks to all of the Counseling Staff and Mr. Spaw in the Library for their help with this event and for helping students with this process. Students can still continue to receive help with the college process and applying to colleges by visiting with Mrs. Montez or Mr. Cooks in the Future Center.
