The Middle School has a great teacher set up. They team up into houses so there are a number of teachers divided between the students to give the students optimal learning. The teachers communicate with the parents quickly. If there are problems, the staff works together to bring the student up to speed. Each student gets their needs addressed individually instead of as a class. There is a lot of music opportunity for the students. The sport program needs work though. There are sports offered through tri-county which is expensive and takes a lot of time and commitment to getting the kids to and from their sport event.

We have had a great experience in the school district up until our kids got to the Intermediate Center for 3rd grade. The principal, Katie Hauge does not focus on some of the problems at hand but harrasses parents for kids playing on the playground after school hours. The staff has a very rude approach at talking to parents as well.

With the new curriculum beginning in the upcoming school year (starting 2022), I would think twice about enrolling in MHSD. It seems to be changing to gender identity, diversity and inclusion, which in my opinion, doesn’t set up any kids for the reality of the real world once they have completed school. All required subjects have taken a back seat to new curriculum. I would strongly consider home schooling or a totally different school district if you have young children.
