Today is National Horror Movie day.  Pop the popcorn, grab a blanket, turn off the lights and enjoy your favorite horror movie.  If you love a good fright, today is the perfect day to scream and shout! 

Our MHS Girls Golf team are the 6A State Champions!  They beat the 2nd place team, Shawnee Mission East, by 29 strokes.
