Our 5th annual Distinguished Alumni Induction Ceremony will take place on the Friday of Homecoming weekend. This is a great opportunity to help our students understand the power of learning! When students hear the incredible achievements of people who walked the same stage they will be walking, it has a lasting impact and shows them that you can do big things when you come from a small town. The size of our school is one of our many advantages!

The Mount Morris Central School District’s annual Spring Musical Performances are scheduled for Friday, March 27th and Saturday, March 28th, in the auditorium. Show times are as follows: Friday, March 27th: 7:00 pm; Saturday, March 28th: 1:00 pm;
Saturday, March 28th: 7:00 pm. Our talented group of Drama Club students are thrilled to bring to stage “Shrek the Musical”! This musical is based on the 2001 DreamWorks Animation film “Shrek”, along with elements of sequels “Shrek 2”, “Shrek Forever After” and William Steig's 1990 book “Shrek”. Shrek the Musical is a one-of-a-kind, hilarious fairy tale which transforms the contemporary children’s book and popular animated feature film into a stage musical. This tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey, a feisty princess who resists her rescue, and over a dozen other fairy tale characters is sure to have audience members entertained throughout the whole performance! It’s never too late to live happily every after. There will be a $5:00 admission fee which benefits MMCSD’s Drama Club.

National Read Across America Day was established by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1998 to help get kids excited about reading. The day occurs each year on the birthday of beloved children’s book author Dr. Seuss. On National Read Across America Day, students, teachers, parents, and community members around the nation come together to read books and celebrate the joy of reading!
Did you know that reading actually increases your brain power? Reading regularly can slow the decline of memory and brain function that comes with age. And of course, as Dr. Seuss says, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
