This afternoon at about 1:30pm, our high school administrative team was alerted to an offensive video that contained racial slurs that reportedly was created by an MHS student at school today. While the district cannot discuss individual student discipline due to FERPA restrictions, racial slurs and discriminatory language are a violation of our student code of conduct.  All reports of of such behavior are investigated fully and would result in disciplinary action.

We are grateful to the students who reported this situation. We want our classroom conversations to stand up against racism and discrimination, and to offer messages of hope and resilience. Sometimes those conversations occur naturally within our curriculum, and other times they arise unexpectedly through student concerns, comments, or behavior.

Thank you for your partnership as we reinforce that our school environment must be a respectful one that is safe and welcoming for all.
