The search for a new Principal will begin in earnest in January. We will conduct focus groups with students, staff, parents/guardians and community members to identify qualities and traits for the next Principal of our High School in order to meet the high expectations that our students and community deserve.

In the meantime, Mr. Chris Mastrangelo will serve as the Interim Principal. Chris is the current Boyle House Principal and has been at MHS for the past nine years. We are confident Chris will provide the best to our students and staff to ensure a safe and supportive school environment.

Thank you,
