Tis the season to be merry! Join us for some festive and fun holiday shenanigans at MHS from December 1-18, 2026.
Small Acts of Kindness, Big Impacts!
As part of a lesson on service and giving back, Mrs. Chrestman’s Pre-Educator students created 159 handmade cards for the Military Holiday Card Challenge.
Each card was filled with heartfelt wishes and gratitude for those who serve our country. What a beautiful reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can touch someone’s heart.
So proud of these future educators for learning that a heart for teaching begins with a heart for serving.

Coach White’s Nutrition II class made healthy applesauce oatmeal muffins in the culinary kitchen, putting their ServSafe certifications to the test as they observed cleanliness and sanitation procedures. This lab demonstration was led by groups of students filling roles such as “Head Chef/Director” and “Dry Ingredients Coordinator”. The second day involved students tasting and evaluating their product. At under 200 calories, students reviewed how each muffin boasts 4g of protein and plenty of fiber, as well as other nutrients.

Growing the Next Generation of Teachers!
What a wonderful day for Mrs. Chrestman’s Rising Pre-Educator students. Some of our future teachers had the opportunity to attend the ASU Mid-South Annual Future Educators Fall Fling, directed by Mrs. Lori Forrester and featuring Ms. Kristi Rice, Principal of Richland Elementary.
There is something special about watching young people begin to see themselves as future educators. Ms. Rice shared a beautiful reminder that teaching comes from the heart. Students learn best from teachers they like, trust, and know genuinely care about them. Long before a child remembers a lesson, they will remember how their teacher made them feel. What a powerful message for our future educators!
A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Rice for sharing her passion for teaching and to Mrs. Forrester and ASU Mid-South for providing such a meaningful experience for our students.
These students are more than future teachers. They are future mentors, encouragers, and difference-makers. What a privilege it is to be a small part of their journey!
