Thank you Morristown Band for a great night of music as part of County Band Day! You sounded great!
Congratulations to our January and February Students of the Month! Thanks also to Sister's for treating these students to lunch!
Collin Palmer — Excellent participation with the guest speaker and solid work in Health Class. — Mr. Workman
Abby Hawk — Abby always works to the best of her abilities and goes above and beyond what's expected of her. Abby has also asked me if she could help me with anything and then did so. I really appreciate her helpfulness and her! — Mrs. Brandau
Carter Bell — Carter has been a rockstar. He is always doing his best to complete work. He asks questions to better his understanding. He is also a wonderful volunteer in class and adds such value to our discussions. I am so proud of his positive efforts. — Ms. Merritt
Addi Decker — Since returning from Winter Break, I have seen a huge improvement in Addi's academics. Not only is she turning in her assignments on time, but she has surprised me with how well she is doing and how hard she is working in our FFA Creed unit right now! Instead of taking the FFA Creed writing option to avoid public speaking, she has chosen to memorize each paragraph of the FFA Creed and recite it out loud to her class, always word for word with confidence, the past two Fridays. — Mrs. Baker
Chris Stratton — Chris has been working very hard on being a better student, but what's really stood out to me, has been his respect towards our janitorial staff. I observed an interaction between Chris and Bruce where Chris was very respectful as Bruce was cleaning the lockers and hallways. I am so proud of Chris and all the strides he's been making this year. – Mrs. Cass
Mollie McLaughlin — Mollie was outstanding this week in Current Health Issues class, participating and adding quality answers with our guest speaker this week. – Tom Workman
Jack Kuhn — Jack comes to school each morning with a smile on his face, ready to learn and do his best. He is always on task, ready to transition quickly and quietly, and does his very best on every assignment given. Jack is a favorite among his peers because he is kind to everyone. They can count on him to be reliable and help when needed. Jack is also very personable, and we as teachers are very lucky to have him in our class. His smile and energy are contagious! – Mrs. Kuhn and Mr. Gaffney
Cora Stephens — Cora moved into our class during the second nine weeks and has acclimated very well into our sixth grade family. She is a hard worker that is persistent in her desire to always do her best. When it comes to a skill that we are reviewing that she wasn't taught at her previous school, she buckles down and gets it figured out. She is a loyal friend to all students and can always be seen passing out smiles and encouragement to others. It is a joy to have her join our group. — Mr. Gaffney and Mrs. Kuhn

Attention Parents of MHS Seniors.
Ms. Swaney is posting scholarships on Google Classroom pretty regularly right now. Please encourage your student to check the Class of 2025 Google Classroom for scholarship opportunities. If they need any of them printed, they just need to let me know.
Also, as a reminder, all seniors must complete the FAFSA by April 15, 2025. This is a state law. The 2025-2026 FAFSA utilizes 2023 tax information. If you and your student choose not to complete the FAFSA, then you will need to sign an opt-out form. Please contact Ms. Swaney if you need the opt-out form or if you have any questions.
Parents of 8th Grade Students:
We'll be having freshman orientation on February 25th at 6 pm in the cafeteria. We will share information about freshman schedules and provide information on the new diploma requirements. We will also talk about things to expect as students transition from junior high to high school. We hope to see you there!
