Join the MHS PTA

We would love to have you join the PTA – parents, caregivers, teachers/staff, students, alumni and community members are all welcome! Sign up to join the MHS PTA through the PTA Givebacks Store (formerly known as MemberHub):

  • $5 for students, teachers and staff
  • $10 for Individuals (parents, guardians, community members or MHS alumni)
  • $25 for Families (includes 4 MHS PTA memberships)

There will be lots of opportunities for events, volunteer work, and service to our community. Have ideas? Feel free to email us at ptapres@mhs-pta.org.

PTA Communications

In addition to emails and announcements from the school, a PTA newsletter similar to this one will go out at least once per month. We also encourage parents and caregivers to join the MHS Family Forum on Facebook and follow MHS PTA on Instagram. Both accounts are great place to get information and connect with others on all things MHS.
