- Update as of 4/26/21: With the new AOE guidance posted on April 23rd, MHS is planning to hold Prom. Since we just received notification, we will be working this week to iron out a date (with rain date) and details of the event. The Class of 2021 will be informed of as many details as we can provide by the end of this week. Please have patience with us as we we navigate putting a meaningful event like this together in such a short period of time. As soon as we have most of the details of all events, a letter will be emailed to families/guardians and seniors in preparation for all end-of-year events.
- Update as of 4/15/21: With the new guidance, the Class of 2021 graduation will be held outdoors on June 11th at 5:00 pm rain or shine. Should there be severely inclement weather, for the safety of all, we will move graduation to Saturday, June 12th at 11:00 am. Students and families will hear more from our senior class advisors, Kim Kidney, Liz Bailey, Molly Clark, and Liz Swindell with regard to the number of tickets available per student. We will also be live streaming the event with the help of ORCA. We're excited to have this opportunity for our seniors! Please be on the lookout early May for a letter to all senior families regarding end-of-year events for the Class of 2021.
