Congratulations to the members of the Speech & Debate team who competed in the 2025 A STATE Howl Yes Tournament recently. We would like to extend additional recognition to Chance Bradford for placing 1st in Impromptu Speaking and 5th in Extemporaneous Speaking. Chance also placed 2nd with Xavion Mclennan in Duet Improv; Xavion Mclennan additionally placed 3rd in Informative Speaking and 6th in IPDA Overall Speaker Award. We are proud of all their hard work! #ElevatingExcellence

The January teacher and students of the month are so deserving! Brian, Karla, Alberto, and Ronan are all hard working students who make good grades, have excellent attendance, work hard, and participate in extracurricular activities. They are going to make an impact on the world! Ms. Foote was nominated by students, one of whom stated, "Ms. Foote continually gives forth her best effort to teach kids; not only in the curriculum, but also in real life situations. She has also gotten most of her AVID students into colleges already (with scholarships)." We are so fortunate to have these people walking in greatness at MUSHS! #ElevatingExcellence #HardWorkPaysOff
