Mr. Goodman recognized the Staffulty of the month at the Morenci Governing Board meeting. Gary Rees has a great character, always respectful and will always make you laugh. He is cool, chill, helpful and an amazing teacher according to his students. Julie Baker is kind, caring, fun and a good teacher and person. She is always willing to help her student do their very best. She is very passionate about teaching and has a very positive attitude in class. We are very fortunate and grateful to have both of these amazing teachers at Morenci High School.

Morenci High School values and celebrates CTE (Career & Technical Education)! As a member school district in GIFT (Gila Institute for Technology), MHS offers many CTE courses for its students. Students are learning technical skills and professional skills, earning industry credentials like OSHA-10 and ServSafe Food Protection Manager, passing the Arizona state test for the CTE program, participating in career & technical student organizations like FCCLA and SkillsUSA, and practicing work-based skills. Some are recognized as stand-outs in their programs. There are so many outstanding students and instructors in our CTE classrooms at MHS, EAC, the FMI Training Facility in Clifton, and other off-site locations! There are also so many outstanding MHS alumni like graphic designer, Jade Chavez, who created the CTE departments' logos and attorney, Jono Brown, who is featured on the new bulletin board; both continue the tradition of excellence started at MHS. We hope to spotlight other MHS alumni. If you’d like to participate and share your career story, please email our CTE Director, Sherry (Trujillo) Carbajal, MHS alumnus Class of 1984, at: scarbajal@morenci.org

A BIG thank you goes out to Mr. Aguinaga's Wildcat Welders. We had a bunch of old desks collecting dust, and probably headed for disposal and they have repurposed them into some nice benches to put in our hallways so students have a place to sit and wait for the bell or to see the nurse or counselor. Great job, Cats!

Tomorrow ,Tuesday October 14, is a HOME Game Day for the first round of conference for FMS Volleyball! Come help us fill the gym and support our Lady Cats at 4 & 5 p.m. See you there!

Due to weather concerns the Saturday Night Fever swim meet scheduled for October 11th has been postponed to a future date.

We’re excited to introduce Deputy Jason Monjaras to the Wildcat family! After 26 years with the Greenlee County Sheriff’s Department, Deputy Monjaras joins MUSD as our new School Resource Officer. As a lifelong Greenlee County resident, he brings years of service and looks forward to connecting with students at each campus. Having an SRO has been a shared goal for Morenci Schools, the Greenlee County Sheriff’s Department, and the Clifton Police Department for several years. We’re also thankful for the United Way of Graham and Greenlee Counties for helping make it happen. Together, we look forward to: • Building strong relationships between students and law enforcement • Supporting safety and prevention efforts • Creating mentorship and positive connections • Continuing to grow a culture of care, respect, and Wildcat pride We’re excited for the difference Deputy Monjaras will make in our schools and community.
