MHS Seniors- your pictures are due to Mrs. Edwards by March 1. If they are not in by this time, you will not be included in the yearbook or the slideshow. A traditional head and shoulder shot is needed for the paper (looking straight at the camera with no hat) and one of choice for the yearbook. The yearbook picture will also be used on the slideshow. Photos must come from the source it was taken and cannot be a screenshot of any kind. No watermarked photography will be accepted. Finally, baby pictures are also due for the slideshow at the same time. These can be brought in for scanning if needed. Please send all files as a jpg; do not send photos as a pdf. See Mrs. Edwards in room 110 if you have questions.
Congratulations to Breckin Downey who was recently honored as part of the 2024 Phi Theta Kappa All-Iowa Academic Team. Breckin was nominated for this honor by the faculty at Clinton Community College.
