Madrigal Dinner 2018

The 31st annual Madrigal Dinner was held December 1st and 2nd in the Commons at Marinette High School. Entertainment and victuals were provided by both the Chorale and Chamber Choir in order to put the community in a festive mood. The Jester ruled over the merriment of "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Heir!" and a fine time was had by all. Plan now to attend next year's 32nd annual Madrigal Dinner the first weekend of December 2019!

On December 6th, all MHS staff and students performed a successful ALICE safety drill. We practiced a lockdown and barricade with help from the Marinette Police Department. Our goal, through our drills and conversations with students about them, is to better prepare them for handling a crisis situation that may arise anywhere .

Message From the Principal

Exciting things happening at MHS! In December seven staff members and almost 80 MHS students were trained to be peer leaders for a new club at our high school called Sources of Strength. The mission of Sources of Strength is to prevent suicide by increasing help-seeking behaviors and promoting connections between peers and caring adults. The program focuses on multiple sources of support (strengths) around young individuals so that when times get hard they have strengths to rely on. Research shows that using this strength-based approach harnesses the power of peer social networks to change unhealthy norms and culture, ultimately preventing suicide, bullying, and substance abuse. We look forward to the positive support and benefits our students will receive from this awesome new club!

The end of the semester is near! With that comes a change in past practice. Normally, at the end of the semester, we have held final exams on the last day or two. In our handbook it now states, “All teachers will administer a final graded culminating assessment activity (exam, project, research paper, presentation, etc.) at the end of each course (term/semester/year-long). There are no specific final assessments dates as teachers will determine the best time to administer their final assessment upon the end of the course.” So, in summary, there will be no final exam days allowing our teachers, along with their students, the flexibility to determine the type of assessment and when to administer it.

Happy holidays to all MHS families!
