We are heartbroken to learn about the tragic passing of several members of a local family — one who was a precious elementary school student at MHPS. We do not have any details related to the matter, but we are holding this family close to our hearts as they navigate the unthinkable.
We have visited with all the families of this child’s classmates and will have lots of counseling support on campus tomorrow. There is no good way to navigate such a sad situation, but our counseling staff and our faculty are all committed to helping our kids.
The District Wellness/School Level Improvement Plan group was honored to have a food presentation by MH Food Service Department. The amazing food display featured the MHHSCA, MHJH and HIS kitchens. Thank you Tom, Roberto and all the food service staff!

MHPS CLASSIFIED STAFF HIGHLIGHT: Mr. Thomas Merry
Prior to joining MHPS, I worked at The University of Notre Dame as the Purchasing Manager for the concessions and catering for all sports. Ordering and dispersing the food for all of the sporting events gave me the opportunity to be on-hand for all the games. Soon I realized I wanted to be more involved in the menu planning, so I accepted the Concessions Manager position. Some people may think having your office in a 90,000-seat football facility would be the best part of the job; however, for me it was the creativity in creating menus that was the allure. During this time I bought a bakery that featured an Amish soft pretzel hand-twisted by one of our pretzel artisans. It didn't take long to realize I was a cook not a baker.
I have worked many concerts, collegiate sporting events, and fed some famous people. However the most interesting was making Mitt Romney a pretzel when he was running for President. He was in shock when we rang it up and charged him full price for it.
The best part of working here at MHPS is trying to make lunch a positive time for the students. Our dedicated staff truly cares about cooking food that these kids will enjoy and doing it within the strict guidelines of the government.
We have THE BEST counseling staff! We are so thankful for their work this week and every week!
