Events, information to keep you informed, and school highlights
Interims will be issued during KnightsQuest on Monday, October 16.
On Monday, we are asking that students and community members wear blue to show their support for putting an end to bullying. It's a small step to show that we understand the impact of bullying on others. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Middletown High School Go Blue!

MHS PTSA: The newly installed MHS PTSA Treasurer had to resign recently for personal reasons related to the recent hurricane in Florida. We can not leave this critical position vacant, so by the PTSA bylaws, the Board of Directors intends to appoint Randy Fedors to serve as Treasurer. Every three years, the PTSA is required to review and update our bylaws. The MHS PTSA Bylaws are due for review 21 October 2017. For more information, see the PTSA website at http://www.middletownhsptsa.com/.
