Dual Spanish IV students worked with 3rd grade bilingual students at Lincoln Grade School in Peoria. Students made crafts and decoration trees all in Spanish! Great memories were made! Then they sang carols in Spanish at our very own Riverview Grade School!
Parents and Guardians of MTHS Students:
This morning, MTHS had a small electrical fire in an HVAC unit within the girls' PE locker room. An MTHS staff member pulled the fire alarm, and our students moved outside per our procedures. The fire quickly went out on its own, emergency services arrived on campus to assist, and as soon as emergency services gave us clearance, we moved the students back into the building out of the cold. Our students and staff did a great job following our procedures, and we are very proud of how everyone conducted themselves.
Thank you,
MTHS Administration
Good morning,

At this time of Thanksgiving, we want to take a minute and give thanks to our students, parents, community members, and teachers. We are so fortunate to live in a supportive community with excellent educators. This year, MTHS ranked in the top 2.15% of all high schools in the state of Illinois per the 2023-2024 Illinois School Report Card. MTHS was 15th out of 697 high schools! This is thanks to everyone who gives their best effort every day! For the complete metrics of the school report card, click below.

The 9th annual Turkey Bowl was held in Mrs. Walton's AP Calculus BC class this week. Thank you to the alumni and friends who joined us, and congrats to the 2024 champs!
Dual Credit Spanish IV students have been researching holidays and traditions in Spanish-speaking countries. Students prepared an entire class lesson with cultural explanations, activities, and food. Cultural is the gateway to bilingualism!
Did you know that MTHS had 150 students take 280 AP exams last year in over 20 subject areas? Juniors received registration information last week, and Sophomores and Freshmen will receive registration information later this winter. Enrolling in AP classes is an excellent opportunity to challenge yourself academically, receive college credit with a score of 3 or higher, and stand out in the admissions process. We encourage all our students to push themselves to reach their maximum potential.
Happy Friendsgiving from your Unified Redbirds. A special thanks to Mrs. Schander and Mr. Brockhouse for all their support! 🦃🖤❤️

Did YOU hear the news?! Our Kiwanis Club brought in a pretty big surprise today to our Unified Redbirds! The surprise...a $12,500 donation to our program from the first annual Boys of Fall event.
