Community ONE Store
- We are thrilled to announce the opening of our Community ONE Store to further our campaign of One School, One Community, One World. The hope is that families and residents across Vienna will purchase apparel in support of our movement. A portion of all sales will be given back to the town of Vienna by supporting local food pantries, homeless shelters, and other organizations that work with families in need. We have partnered with Stan Darke from DMV Tees (located near the Mosaic District) in this endeavor. All merchandise will be delivered from DMV Tees directly to the purchaser. There are many style options in a variety of colors that support all of our pyramid schools. Please take a moment to peruse the store: https://dmvtees.com/onekindactvienna/shop/home

One School | One Community | One World
Madison High School strives to create and maintain an identity affirming learning environment where our students embrace, support, and encourage each other where multiple forms of identity (i.e. race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or disability) are recognized and regarded as assets for teaching and learning. We work to ensure school is a place where students feel safe and can be themselves. We do not tolerate hate speech, racist speech, bias, or acts of discrimination in our school. We want all students to feel a sense of belonging. We want to see all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to learning, growing, and building the best Madison High School for all our students. We are One School - One Community - One World.
