We have been doing so well, but UNFORTUNATELY, we had some not-so-positive behavior events this week. Therefore, we will NOT have an Athletic Dress Code tomorrow, Friday, April 18, 2025. Remember, Let’s ALL choose to be a CHAMP every day! #BeAchaMP
Students of MPHS, I hope each of you had a restful and enjoyable Spring Break! We look forward to welcoming you back in the morning. Remember to set your alarm clocks and be in 1st block by 8:00 am. We have six weeks left, so let's finish this year strong! Go Dogs!
