A Message from the MUHS Leadership Team

Dear MUHS Students and Families,

The leaves are on the trees, the sun is expected to make an appearance this weekend, and the weeks ahead are full of sporting events and musical performances. Life at school is busy as we wind down the school year. It’s remarkable to think that our seniors have only two weeks of classes remaining before the whirlwind of Senior Week leading up to Graduation on June 6. Classes continue through June 11 for students in grades 9–11. Weather permitting, we’ll all come together to celebrate Spring Fling on Friday, May 22.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Warmly,

Caitlin Steele, Principal

Ben Weir, Assistant Principal

Sean Farrell, Activities Director

Julie Pettis, Student Response Coordinator
