High School Preview Night:  8th Grade Families

Menomonie High School invites you to attend the MHS Mustang Preview Night on January 13, 2022, starting at 5:30 in the MHS Auditorium. This event is designed for families and students to have the opportunity to meet with representatives from each MHS department. It will also allow you to ask questions and gather more information about selecting appropriate courses and individualizing your student's upcoming high school experience. Your student will also be receiving some information at Menomonie Middle School in the coming days which will also help with this process.

If possible, please plan on attending so that we can assist you in creating an appropriate plan at MHS which coincides with your student's post-secondary aspirations. If you are unable to attend, feel free to reach out to MHS directly with any questions you may have.
