Dear MJHS Families,
Today, our campus briefly implemented a Hold as a precautionary measure due to a student medical situation.
A Hold is a standard safety protocol that keeps students and staff in their current locations while allowing instruction and normal activities within classrooms to continue. This procedure helps ensure that emergency responders and school personnel can quickly and safely address a situation without disruption to the rest of the campus.
The medical situation was handled promptly by our staff and local emergency responders. The Hold has been lifted, and the school day resumed as normal.
We appreciate our students and staff for responding calmly and appropriately, and we thank you for your continued trust and support. The safety and well-being of our students is always our top priority.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school office.

🎉MJHS placed 4th in the State Quiz Bowl Competition — what an incredible accomplishment for the whole team.
Huge congratulations to JC Howard and Colt Henderson for earning All-Tournament honors! 👏🏆 Way to go, Devil Pups🐾
MJHS students took a meaningful dive into history as they researched influential African Americans who helped shape our nation & inspire generations. From the courage of Harriet Tubman & Rosa Parks, to the leadership of Martin Luther King Jr. & Barack Obama, students explored stories of bravery, resilience, & impact.Through research, discussion, & presentations, they connected the past to the present & discovered how these trailblazers continue to influence our world today. We’re proud of our students for honoring these legacies & learning the importance of courage, equality, and service. ❤️📚
