management is often a struggle during these high stress times, and planning ahead can be essential to achieving

success.

I look forward to our next quarter of school together after Fall Break.

PBIS News

The Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) recognizes the good things that happen on our campus

daily. When a staff member sees a student following the PBIS code of being Respectful, Responsible, or Safe

they are given a Tiger ticket. The back usually has a positive comment on what the student was observed doing

well. The student can then turn the ticket in for an end of the year drawing. Prizes can include dance tickets,

movie tickets, and gift cards just to name a few. It’s really just our way to say thanks for doing something great

around our campus like so many students do.

ATHLETICS

Tiger Pride



ATHLETIC News

Tiger Pride

Volleyball: Coach Ball says, “Mele Hala’ufia is our senior middle blocker. She is a very dedicated athlete and

has shown great mental toughness. This is her first year in the program and is doing an amazing job for us! She

is leading the Sonoran conference in solo blocks and stuff blocks. She is a great athlete and has been a

wonderful addition to our team this year.”

Football: Coach Litten says, “Manny Miranda has been huge for us the last two weeks. He’s accumulated 5

touchdowns and has been our leading tackler on defense.”

Girls Golf: Coach Corona says, “Lauren Scott is the most improved golfer on the team. She consistently works

hard on her game and is a steady and reliable player. Her scores consistently reflect her desire to improve as a

golfer. I appreciate her work ethic and sense of team.”

XC: Coach Bartz says, “Jordan Toone has worked really hard to come back from injury this season. Given the

fact he has only had 3 weeks worth of workouts and mileage, he had an outstanding race this past Friday,

running in the low 18s. Friday night at Desert Twilight was a great representation of his dedication, motivation

and overall work ethic he has had throughout this Cross Country season.”

There will be Special End Zone Seating for home football games. Watch the game from the comfort of an

adirondak chair in the south end zone. Each seat is $20 and must be purchased prior to the game from our

bookstore. There will only be 20 seats per game so act fast. Games remaining: October 7 vs. Cholla, October

14 vs. Poston Butte, and October 28 vs. TBD. See attached flyer.



CTE SPOTLIGHT

MHS Culinary Arts

At MHS we are very proud to offer a diverse array of CTE/JTED programs. The Integration of these

programs throughout our curriculum is just one of the many opportunities for students that our comprehensive

high school provides. Throughout the year we will be sharing glimpses into the programs with you.

Take a look at our Culinary Arts program…

CTE Culinary Arts is serving up something special this school year! Our program is full of fun, feasting and

hard work. When you’re part of Culinary Arts you learn about teamwork, catering, safety, sanitation, cooking,

baking and pastry. The students get hands on experiences and have class in an industry facility right here at

MHS. The students spend 50% of their time in Culinary labs to prepare them for industry jobs right from high

school. The students also operate their own business here on campus called LE Tigre Cafe’. It is operated by

our advanced and intermediate students and opens three days a week during lunch. During the course of the

year we participate in community service, caterings and other special events that is run by our FCCLA. When

you stay in in the program you are also able to receive your Servsafe certification, which is required by industry

professionals to have. Also, we offer Pima dual enrollment classes. When students leave from the culinary

program that have the opportunity to complete 12 college credits.
