* MHS Student Council shines at Massachusetts Association of Student Council Conference. The MHS Student Council once again showed they are one of the strongest Student Council delegations in the state at the annual conference on Cape Cod by winning the MASC Gold Council of Excellence. In addition, the event saw their members take the polar plunge for Special Olympics. In addition, Junior, Dana Kenneally, was elected MASC President for the 2020 school year. What an amazing week for our Student Council.

MHS Athletics-

*Finally, we want to recognize a few of our athletic teams who competed at an exceptionally high level.

The MHS Cheerleading Team, who has performed exceptionally well all winter, were competing this weekend in the State Championships at Tantasqua HS. They had qualified through strong performances at regional events leading up to the state championships. They've had a fantastic season.


In addition, the Boys Ice Hockey team finished another amazing season with an appearance in the MIAA Super 8 Hockey Tournament.  They won their "play-in" game over St. Mary's which qualified them for the Super 8.  They then played hard but came up a bit short in competitive games with B.C. High and Framingham HS.  This was the 2nd time in 3 years they made it to the Super 8.
