From The Principal

Congratulations to our seniors on their final day of classes! We’re eagerly looking ahead to celebrating the Class of 2025 at MSHS Graduation on Sunday, May 18 at 1:00 PM at Rykovich Stadium. Also, thank you to our generous senior families how decorated Senior Hall this week: it was beautiful and festive!

We’re also incredibly proud of our students who have completed AP exams this week—and wish the best to those continuing into next week. Meanwhile, our 9th–11th graders are wrapping up their final days of classes, with exams scheduled for May 20–22.

Good luck to our Girls Soccer, Baseball, Girls Golf, and Track & Field teams as they approach the exciting finish to their seasons! Highlights include:

Girls’ Soccer hosts Timnath in the second round of playoffs this Saturday at 1:00 PM
Baseball faces off at the TPL tournament this Saturday starting at 10 am at The Grace Center for Athletics
Girls Golf competes at Regionals on Monday
Track & Field heads to the State Meet Thursday through Saturday

All of our teams have shown incredible growth, dedication, and teamwork this season—we’re proud of their efforts and can’t wait to cheer them on through the finish!

Have an awesome weekend!

A Word From The History Department

The seniors in Economics finished the semester learning about what the next steps look like for them in the world of finances. They examined using and paying off credit cards, obtaining loans, how credit scores impact your finances, and identity theft. The highlight of the past few weeks was having John G., Tori's dad, come in as a guest speaker on auto and renter insurance. The semester has been filled with numerous activities and games to better prepare the seniors as they finish their high school careers.
