MUHS Community Newsletter
May 8, 2026
Dear MUHS Students and Families,
If you’ve entered through our front doors recently, you’ve probably noticed an important change: we have a new Welcome Office in place. This renovation is designed to strengthen school safety while also creating a more welcoming and organized entry experience for visitors and students.
Beginning Monday, all visitors arriving during the school day (8:45 a.m.–3:15 p.m.) will use the updated front door intercom system (a black button, to the right of the front door). A Campus Supervisor in the Welcome Office will ask for your name and the purpose of your visit before unlocking the door and directing you to the main office.
Students will also notice that the vestibule doors leading north toward the Cafeteria and south toward the Commons will remain locked during most class periods. The doors will automatically unlock during passing times and lunch blocks to allow easy movement between the Cafeteria, Commons, and Courtyard. If you happen to be in the vestibule when the doors are locked, the Campus Supervisor can quickly let you through.
In addition to improving visitor screening, the new Welcome Office allows staff to monitor exterior doors throughout the building from one central location. We appreciate everyone’s patience and feedback as we launch this new system and continue working to keep MUHS safe, secure, and welcoming for all.
Warmly,
Caitlin Steele, Principal
Ben Weir, Assistant Principal
Sean Farrell, Activities Director
Julie Pettis, Student Response Coordinator
