The MTHS Art Club had a great day in St. Louis at the Laumeier Sculpture Park and St. Louis Art Museum. They have been meeting all year long once a week before school doing all kinds of fun art related things for the school, community and themselves! It was great to be able to take this trip with these passionate students :)

We are very proud of seniors Madi Marsh, Marianne Hammer, and Kassidy Mullins for their hard work bringing awareness to Safe Haven laws in Central Illinois. These three young ladies dedicated their honors senior English problem/solution project to bringing awareness to this issue in our area, helping parents who can no longer care for their newborns a safe place to relinquish their child. These young ladies were able to hang the "Safe Haven" sign at the Metamora Fire Department. Nice job, seniors!

Announcing the 2025 Fall Play!
THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
Directed by Tyler Smith
From Broadway Licensing:
From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the smash hit farce. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
There will be an Informational Meeting for interested students on Wednesday, April 16th from 6 pm-7 pm in the Auditorium. Auditions will be held on Friday, May 9th from 5:30pm-9pm in the Auditorium. Questions? Contact the Director at tsmith@mths.us
The production dates of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG are September 18-21, 2025.
We hope to see you there!
