Due to the conditions of the roads in the county we will be having an eLearning Day to start off the second semester.
Students should check their emails and their Google classrooms for assignments. Teachers will share assignments by 10 am. Teachers will also share virtual office hours for those that need some help.
Blue River Students: You will also be given eLearning assignments from your Blue River teachers. Contact them if you have questions.
Everyone: Let's stay safe and warm!
Due to snow, MHS is closed Tuesday, January 7th, 2025.
We'll use Presidents' Day (Feb 17) as our snow make up day.
Blue River students: Blue River will also be closed.
Everyone, stay safe and warm!

Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students at the door. Advance tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students. See any cast or crew member for advance tickets.
