Principal's Note Principal's Note

As I was reading my news feed this weekend, I came across something that I had heard from a presenter on Saturday at a leadership gathering at the Lee Dam Center for Fine Arts. I figured if I ran across it twice in one weekend, it must be pretty good. Our presenter had mentioned taking the "golden rule" to a new level and living by the "platinum rule." The article in my news feed was from "Inc." and was advice from Warren Buffet, the iconic billionaire investor from Omaha. He also said to upgrade the "golden rule" to the "platinum rule." Instead of "treat other as you would like to be treated", the presenter and Buffett said we should "treat others the way they want to be treated." Not only are you doing something the other person wants or needs, but following the platinum rule activates empathy, which is actually showing leadership because you are imagining a situation from someone else's point of view rather than your own. If' Buffett says living this way is a measure of success, I think we all should give it a try.

National FFA Week is February 18-25!


February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) month. CTE prepares students for a wide range of work, training and educational opportunities. It helps students develop real-world employability skills, connects students to workforce applications, promotes postsecondary degrees and certifications, and introduces students to industry partners.

MHS has eight CTE pathways, many CTE courses, and three Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO’s). CTE courses are Business Essentials, Graphic Design, Consumer Education, Photography, Economics, Biology, Media Tech, Horticulture, Ag Mechanics, Robotics, and lots more. Our CTSO’s are FBLA, FCCLA, and FFA. A big thank you to everyone for supporting CTE!


MHS Drama Department presents "Letters to Sala" at the MHS Auditorium, which has been rescheduled for Saturday, February 25 at 7:30pm and Sunday, February 26 at 2pm. Admission is by freewill donation.


KAY Club is sponsoring a "Show Your Rizz!" next week. Students can get Rizz stickers in Mr. Cook's room for $.25 each. If they talk to someone on the other side of the alphabet, they have to give up their sticker. Prizes will be given out to the students who either give out the most stickers and who gets the most stickers.

These are the rules:

On Monday, February 20, students whose last name starts with A-K start with rizz stickers.

On Tuesday, February 21, students whose last name starts with L-Z start with rizz stickers.

If you start with a rizz sticker, the goal is to keep it in a visible place. Don't talk to anyone without a rizz sticker or you have to give yours up.

If you start without a rizz sticker, the goal is to get as many stickers as you can from those who have them. Collect rizz stickers from the people you get to talk to you.

---Stickers can be purchased in Mr. Cook's room (Room 414).---

At the end of each day, have your stickers counted by a KAY member for tabulation, or you can stop by Mr. Cook's room and he can get things recorded.


Stuco Bake sale will be Tuesday, March 7th. Part of the proceeds will go to the Kansas Honor Flight. Anyone that wants to donate an item for the bake sale can contact Mr. Koch at jakoch@usd364.org.


The Class of 2026 (freshmen) will be selling chances for 3 -$100 gift certificates to Tony's Meat Market. Chances are $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00 Contact any freshman for tickets. This will start on February 22 and the drawing will be on March 8th
