Creative Communications, a publication celebration of today’s writers, is publishing a poem from one of our very own students. MHS's Gianna Draper submitted an original piece entitled "Broken Chains" to the Creative Communications poetry competition. Only 30 entries were accepted from young writers in grades 7-9. As a top 30 finalist, Gianna's poem is now in the running for a top ten ranking. Congratulations, Gianna, on your success! #GoRattler

Being a teacher is a unique calling. Teachers do so much more than just educate students. Teachers are behind the scenes helping and assisting students in ways that often go unnoticed or unannounced. MHS is blessed to have so many teachers that care for our students beyond academics, and it shows in the support from the community!
Thank you to Impact Counseling, Pafford Medical Clinic, South Central Connect, Southern Dine, Delight church of Christ, Delight First Baptist Church, and the MHS Student Council for showering our teachers with goodies this week for Teacher Appreciation Week.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the best teachers, ever!
Jessica Williams produced this Rattler piece and gifted it to Mr. Eckert just because! We are thankful to have creative and thoughtful students in our district. #GoRattler

Did you know that the Hospitality & Tourism Industry is the 2nd largest industry in the state of Arkansas?
This year Mrs. Maroon started a new program of study called Hospitality & Tourism in our Business Department. Mrs. Maroon’s Travel & Tourism class has been visiting popular tourist spots outside of our own Crater of Diamonds. They recently visited Petit Jean State Park and Mt. Magazine State Park. These students got to experience and see what many people come to our state to do! #GoRattlers
The 6th graders took a tour of the High School today. The students were led through the Highschool by student representatives to see various sights they will experience as 7th grade students. They toured classrooms and even were able to meet some teachers along the way. The student representatives were also able to answer any questions the 6th graders might have with their future High School lives. Afterwards they met with Mrs. Stone to set their schedules for next year.
