Car Wash, Burgers Help Fund Project Graduation

The following was submitted by the MHS Project Graduation Gala.

Project Graduation Gala is a tradition at Mahwah High School. After the ceremony, our graduates are whisked away to an event that will provide them with the final memories and camaraderie of their high school years.  Senior parents/ guardians work throughout the year to make this safe, fun and substance-free night a reality. Various fundraisers are held to offset Gala costs. Your help is needed and appreciated. Please mark your calendars and join us in support of the GALA.
