MHS students in Mrs. Bartlett’s Honors Math 3 class were showing off their math skills and creativity before break! Students were given a graphic artistry performance task that involved creating an image using two polynomial functions. After students solved the math, they were challenged to display a model of their finished product.
Happy retirement to Pam Heaton! Her last day as a Mattoon High School Supervisor was Wednesday, December 21st. Pam started with us in September of 1994. We appreciate her 29 years of service and she will be missed greatly!
Pam says her retirement plans include a trip to Costa Rica to visit her sister.
Pam stated, "When I first started, I was everybody's mom, then I turned into everybody's grandma. When I turned into everyone's great grandma, I decided it was time to retire."
Happy Holidays!
As we begin Winter Break, we should also be preparing for the Winter Weather Storm coming this week. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning in effect from Thursday (12/22) through Saturday. This warning includes below-freezing temperatures, dangerous winds, and snow. While our students will be away on break, we are still thinking about their safety.
Here are some safety tips for playing in the snow over break AFTER the storm has passed.
We wish you all a safe and relaxing holiday season. We look forward to seeing the kids back in 2023.
GOOD (Group of Optimistic Deeds) members recently created an opportunity for MHS students to "Light the Season with Kindness"! Thank you to Aydin, Eisley, Grace, Lincoln, Ash, Donovan, and all who contributed on this project to brighten the halls!
Get ready! Winter Break starts Thursday, December 22 and students will not return to school until Tuesday, January 3, 2023. Teachers will return on Monday, January 2nd for Teachers Institute.
Mark your calendars for March 1, 2023! More details on Future's Day at Mattoon High School are coming soon.
