Majors achieve and thrive together with purpose and pride!
Greetings, Majors and Families,
We are counting down to the last days of the second quarter and the start of longer days, warm weather, spring sports and activities. Our seniors are also preparing for graduation and beyond, and our underclassmen are gearing up for a strong finish - there is something for all our Majors to look forward to in the remaining months.
Next week, Wednesday, March 13, 2024 from 6:00 - 7:00 pm will be my last PTSA meeting as principal of MVHS. This transition brings so many emotions as my time here has been so rewarding and our collaborative efforts have yielded amazing results for the MVHS community. During this meeting, Mrs. Boyd, the acting principal will also be in attendance for a meet and greet. I look forward to seeing you all there.
Here's to a vibrant spring filled with growth, and memories that I will forever cherish.
With Love and Major Pride,
Principal Rogers
Please mark your calendars with the important dates below.
