###################################################################### Message From The Principal ###################################################################### Hello Everyone,
With this year drawing to a close, we thank all who helped support our school and our students during this past year. I know that in this next week, many of you will be looking forward to getting time away from the computer and the coming summer break. Thank you to all of our students who have worked so hard to finish this school year strong.
Please continue to watch in the coming weeks for announcements pertaining to the opening for next school year in August. Have a safe and happy weekend!

MHS Attendance Information
MHS Yearbook Distribution Wednesday, July 28, 3 PM - 7 PM Middletown High School yearbooks will be distributed on Wednesday, July 28, at the back cafeteria doors, from 3 PM to 7 PM. The yearbook is being distributed during the summer because in-person school events were not held until the second semester, which caused a delay in gathering content for the book and in getting it printed. Students who are unable to pick up their book at the designated time may have someone else pick it up for them, but that person must have an ID and sign for the book. Middletown High School yearbooks will be distributed on Wednesday, July 28, at the back cafeteria doors, from 3 PM to 7 PM. Any books not picked up on July 28 may be picked up in the front office on Thursday, July 29 from 7:30 AM – 12:30 PM. Students that are unable to pick up on July 28 or July 29 should call the front office at 240-236-7400 to schedule a pick up time.
