Attention MUSD Parents and Community- Morenci Schools will be conducting a lockdown drill this week. You may see many law enforcement and fire department vehicles around our district. The goal of the lockdown drill is to test and improve our practices and procedures to ensure the safety of all students and staff at MUSD. We will publish a notice on our website (www.morenci.org) and Facebook page when this drill begins and ends. We appreciate your cooperation as we practice lockdown procedures with your child. We value your child and their safety and want to be prepared if an actual threat occurs.

Hello FMS Parents,

Next week we will be celebrating Native American Heritage Week next week. Here are the dress up days. We encourage everyone to dress up!

MHS Student Council's first Blood Drive of the year was a success! Thank you to all those who came out to donate! We collected a total of 32 pints of blood and that can potentially save 96 lives!

Wildcats care about each other! Last week, 24 of our MHS Wildcats got certified as Interweave Peer Counselors! They spent four hours learning how they can identify when their peers need help and how to react in various situations commonly faced by teens. Great job Wildcats and thank you for taking the time to help others! Also, thank you to our Graham and Greenlee Substance Abuse Coalitions for bringing this training to our students!

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
