Did you know that under current building codes, MJHS was built with a storm shelter? The hallway that includes our music rooms and health classroom makes up a storm shelter with its own water supply, manual ventilation, and a capacity of 1,000. We ran our first SHELTER drill at MJHS this week. The entire building of almost 700 students and staff made it into the shelter in about 7 minutes!

Our wrestling team competed against Hickory Creek Middle School last night in a thrilling meet. 8th grader, Natalia Calleros, got a pin during the second to last match, sending the gym into a frenzy and winning the dual!
