A Summer Challenge---find 30 minutes each day to be truly active. This will not only improve your physical health, but will greatly positively impact your social and emotional health. Let's make it a goal that next year MHS Schools finish #1 in the state on our fitness testing!

Congrats to our Graduates!!
In the blink of an eye, these former sixth-graders became graduated adults. I remember them on their first day @KeigwinMPS and will forever remember them in this moment. I’m so proud of all they have accomplished! Congratulations to the TLC class of 2019! #mpsct @DocConner13
