Class Rings Class Rings

Methacton students are getting ready to order their official Methacton High School Class Rings. A time-honored tradition, your student will wear their custom class ring with pride for years to come! The program is introduced to the sophomore class, but juniors and seniors are invited to participate as well if they haven't already.

Please take a moment to view this short class ring presentation: here
You can view our digital class ring brochure here

You can submit your student's class ring order by simply going to sscrings.com and following the steps.

The deadline for all orders is Thursday, September 19th!

All rings ordered by this deadline will be delivered before Winter Break this December, giving your child an optimal amount of time to wear his/her ring while still in high school and making this purchase a great holiday gift idea.
If you have any questions, our professional staff is ready to help!

Doors do not open until 7:15

We have moved our car line up to the auditorium this year. The auditorium doors open at 7:15. Please follow the direction of the staff who are out guiding traffic. We are moving through the line much quicker this year so there should not be a need to drop your child off before the doors open. There is no supervision before 7:15.

Student Behavior Student Behavior

Student Expectations:

Students are expected to be on time to school and classes. Teachers may issue after-school detentions if students are late to class three or more times in a semester.


Students may be asked to use cell phone holders as they enter the classrooms. Teachers will inform students as to when students can use their phones. After school detentions may be given for inappropriate use of technology during the school day.


Please read the Student Handbook and the Code of Conduct located on the Methacton web site for more explicit information on student expectations!
