Get Involved at MHS
Now more than ever it is important for students to establish relationships with their peers, respected adults, and their school community. After 2 years of being forced behind screens, many students are struggling to re-connect. Getting involved in different clubs, organizations, or athletics can help ease the transition back to "real life" by providing an opportunity to socialize, receive support, build confidence, and reduce stress.
Below you will find a link to our activities website which details our offerings and provides contact information to club advisors. What have you got to lose?!
