A Few Words From the Principal

We are approaching the one month mark of the 2025-2026 school year. We have enjoyed getting to know all of our 6th grade students and seeing our 7th and 8th graders jump into learning. Thank you for being kind to one another, focusing in class, and putting the best you forward every day. I am looking forward to celebrating the many accomplishments and successes of our students this year.

We started our sports competitions this week and our students represented themselves, MT, and the community well. Congratulations! Parents thank you for supporting your student and our MTMS athletes.

In the next few weeks there are lots of opportunities for our students including our school social on September 12. This is an opportunity for the students to spend some time enjoying the company of each other while socializing. We will have a DJ playing music as well as an open gym. There is more information about the social below. We hope to see everyone there.
