The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to the MHS library October 5–9, during Homecoming Week! Stop by to browse books, discover a new favorite, and support our school library. We can’t wait to see what you find!
Students can pay with cash, card, Apple/Google Pay, or families can set up an e-wallet by connecting to our school’s Book Fair homepage.

Career & Technical Education gives students the opportunity to turn classroom learning into real-world skills.
Through CTE pathways, Monroe County students can explore careers, gain hands-on experience and work toward industry certifications—all before graduating from high school.
That's what it means to design a Future-Ready Graduate. 🚀
