Congratulations to the Mr. & Miss MHJH Court! Special congrats to Mr. MHJH Finley Maxey and Miss MHJH Ella Hampton!
The January Leadership Award from First Security Bank goes to Luke James. Here is what his teacher had to say:
Luke is such a great student! He comes to class each day prepared and with a positive attitude. If he misses school, he is quick to come to my room and get any paper copies of missed work. His attitude in class is not only positive, but upbeat, which can really help fuel positive energy throughout the room. Luke is kind to his peers, often offering help when he understands something that a table neighbor might be stuck on. Overall, Luke represents MHJH and the community in a positive way and is deserving of the Student of the Month award.

The MHHS Quiz Bowl team competed in the Ozarka College Invitational in Melbourne today. We lost our first game against perennial contender Batesville, on the very last question. In our second game, we beat a local team known for their Quiz Bowl acumen, in Norfork. In our third match, against a stout Highland team, we lost on the fifth question of overtime. All three matches were well played and our students showed a lot of promise by roughly scoring around 300 points per match. This tournament was a tune-up before the regional tournament in Marion on March 7th.
