Good afternoon Sailors!
Attached you will find the Week’s Events Calendar for the upcoming activities at MSHS.
No School on December 22 - January 2 Holiday Vacation Classes resume on Jan. 3.
Happy New Year Sailors!
It's a wonderful time of the year to reflect, recharge, rest, reset, rejuvenate and revisit personal and professional goals.
Each year we are reminded by author Jon Gordon the power of choosing One word as an area of focus for the upcoming year.
“One word that gives meaning, mission, and purpose. One word that will help me be my best.” - Jon Gordon
Sailors, we challenge you to select One word. And as you do keep it in a location that you can refer back to and remember throughout the upcoming year.
My word for 2024 is JOY…… it is my wish that our Sailor Family and our Bustard Family have as much JOY in their lives as possible by doing what makes them happy and what brings happiness to others.

Senior Celebration is a time-honored tradition where parents of the Senior Class put together a fun "all-night" experience for the graduating class.

Students will leave directly after graduation and parents will be notified at that time of the surprise location. Senior Celebration provides not only a fun and safe experience for our students the night they graduate, it also creates great memories for years to come!
