As we enter the season of Thanksgiving, we at Metamora Township High School have one more incredible reason to be thankful.
We are thrilled and proud to announce that the recent Illinois School Report Card ranks MTHS among the elite top 2.89% of ALL high schools in Illinois!
This outstanding achievement is not a coincidence—it's a direct result of the dedication and partnership within our community:
🌟 To Our Incredible Staff: Your commitment to excellence in the classroom, in activities, and in mentorship is the foundation of our success. Thank you for making MTHS a place where students thrive.
📚 To Our Hardworking Students: Your curiosity, perseverance, and commitment to learning drive everything we do. You show up every day ready to excel, and these results reflect your amazing effort!
🤝 To Our Supportive Parents: Thank you for being our partners in education. Your support at home creates the essential environment for high achievement.
This ranking is a community success story, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who contributes to MTHS's excellence. We are proud to be Redbirds!
This week’s spotlight celebrates our amazing assistant principals! Here I am with one of my favorite MTHS Assistant Principals. Their jobs aren’t always easy—they do a lot to keep our school running smoothly—but they’re also caring, kind, and love celebrating students who make good choices. When you do, you’ll get to see their best side—and maybe even share a few smiles (and sometimes a treat)!

Let's give a HUGE shoutout to our incredible Mathematics teachers, Jen Lucia and Melissa Walton, who recently took a fantastic professional risk by presenting at the Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM) Annual Conference! 👏
Presenting at a statewide conference takes courage, preparation, and a true commitment to sharing best practices and elevating math education for all students. We're so proud that they stepped up to share their innovative work and represent the spirit of growth and collaboration here at Metamora!
Their dedication to learning and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the classroom is an inspiration to their students and colleagues alike. Way to go, Mrs. Lucia and Mrs. Walton! ❤️🦅
ATTENTION Class of 2026 Families! It is time to order your seniors caps, gowns and senior swag.

Plan to return them to school on Wednesday, Nov 4 during lunch to our Jostens reps. Questions or concerns? Please email Val Dunlap at vdunlap@mths.us.
Just like in math, every challenge in life is simply a problem waiting to be solved. But don’t let stress multiply—divide it with friends!
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." It was a grand time last week in senior English as students finished the great American classic, The Great Gatsby, and attended a very important funeral for the characters. #neverstopreading #thegreenlight
