Baccalaureate Help Needed The PTSA is looking for parents of juniors and seniors to help with the 2020 Senior Baccalaureate to be scheduled in May 2020. Planning will starts soon. This time-honored tradition is a student-led community program for MHS seniors to celebrate their upcoming graduation by hearing inspirational speakers, enjoying the talents of fellow seniors, and reflecting on their life journey to graduation. We are the only school in the county that hosts a Baccalaureate. It is always well-received by parents and students alike, and although this is a ceremony for seniors, interested parents of juniors are encouraged to assist in order to gain experience and insight for their future senior's baccalaureate. An informational meeting will be forthcoming in December. If you are interested in helping the PTSA and MHS seniors plan this year’s Baccalaureate, please email the PTSA Baccalaureate Committee at mhsptsabacc@gmail.com
Become A Member! Please remember to support your MHS PTSA by becoming a member or contributing to the Write-A-Check fund. Becoming a member doesn't commit you to volunteer, but it gives you a vote and a voice in advocating for improvements for our school and Frederick County teachers! Both the membership and the Write-a-Check fundraiser provide the financial wherewithal for the PTSA to organize and implement a wide range of activities in support of the MHS experience for the students. In addition, volunteers are always welcome to help at individual events. As a friendly reminder, Seniors who wish to apply for the $500 PTSA scholarship in the Spring must be members as well.
