MHS Tech Collection - Senior devices have been collected. Thank you to those families that made the effort to return these to school. Students currently in grades 9, 10, & 11 may keep their device over the summer. We ask that students take extra care to make certain their laptop is in good working order in September. If you are not certain that keeping your device is the best choice for you, please do not hesitate to hand your device to a technician in the east building. If you choose to have us hold your device, you will be able to pick up your laptop either in August or after school starts.

Middle School Tech Collection - We made it through another year of remote learning. We will be collecting devices this Friday June 11 for in-person learners and on June 15 (afternoon) and June 16 for remote learners so that remote students can connect through the final day.
