We look forward to your support of these communities in Guatemala & Nicaragua as we lead our pulsera sale in the coming days!

*Sophomores--New for next year MHS has partnered with the Chamber of Commerce and UW-Stout to offer a community based leadership opportunity. The Youth Menomonie Leadership Program is designed to give high school juniors in the Menomonie Area the opportunity to learn more about their community and further develop the leadership skills necessary to become motivated, active members of their communities while earning a college credit to be applied at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. This would be outside of your regular MHS class schedule. If interested in learning more, see your counselor or Mr. Drake.

*Attention winter sport athletes if your season is complete it’s time to clean out your locker in the locker room to make room for spring sports.  During spring break all locker rooms will be closed for cleaning with the disinfecting pressure washer and everything left behind will be donated or thrown away.  Make sure when you leave for spring break everything is cleaned out of your locker in the locker rooms.
