MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear MHS Families, Welcome to the close of another week. It is hard to believe that today marks the end of term 3. Please make sure you are aware of your child's grades in Schoology. If you have questions about upcoming assignments or coursework, please make sure your child asks their teachers sooner than later, as our term 4 starts Monday.
We are well into planning for graduation, which will be held at Mount St. Mary's University on May 21st at 1:30 PM. If you are the parent of a senior, please make sure you are checking their grades and making sure they are at school when they need to be (on time and present). These next few weeks will go by very quickly, so we want no surprises (at least unpleasant ones) as we go into May. See the latest senior news here.
Thank you for your continued support of Middletown High School and have a nice weekend. Sincerely,
Bernie Quesada Principal, Middletown High School
