Madison High School Updates

Happy New Year!

I hope each of you had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday break! As we look to the upcoming year, our district has established a goal, a New Year's Resolution, to improve student attendance! In order for our students to be successful, they must be present! Did you know that students who miss 2 or more days a month are considered chronically absent? By definition, Chronic Absenteeism is when a student misses 10% or more of the school year. This includes both excused and unexcused absences. In the coming weeks, we will be increasing our efforts to educate our students on the importance of good attendance and the impact strong attendance has on academic performance and employability.

We are looking forward to great things in 2025!

All 10th grade students will attend a Skilled Trades Panel Presentation and Q & A on Thursday, Jan 9th from 10:30am - 11:30am in the PAC

Current 10th & 11th grade students will complete the LISD Tech Center Application for the 2025-2026 school year beginning the week of Jan 6th, 2025.
