Yesterday, our 8th grade students participated in our 2nd Annual Career Fair. Students first started with completing something called an Educational Development Plan that helps develop a career interest inventory, along with personality surveys, and career growth insights. We invited several businesses from the area to help students gain a broader insight to what may available to them as adults. Students met with Tia Trudgeon from TV6, Mike Smith from UP Construction Council, Ian Hutchens from Eagle Mine, Jessica Mariin owner of Fresh Coast Beauty, Tyler McCabe from Teaching Family Homes, Caitlin Ott and Ben Travis from MIDNR; our very own Ms. Delpier was able to stand in for a guest who was unable to attend, with a similar education background. Our students were attentive, extremely respectful, and engaged; our guests were happy with the questions asked and said the students were wonderful.

Last week, Mrs. Swanson's class at Sandy Knoll presented the SEL skits that the students wrote. The skits consisted of topics that included spinning worry, courage, frustration, and flexible thinking. If you made it to our SEL night you may have had the pleasure to see them for yourself! They were too good not to share with all the students at SK. Way to go 5th graders!
Big congratulations to Mr. Fitzpatrick!
This weekend, he was honored with the Michigan Historical Society Teacher of the Year Award for his outstanding work with the Michigan History Day program!
Mr. Fitzpatrick pours his heart into this project every year—going above and beyond to support our students and ensure the contest we host runs without a hitch. We’re so proud of his dedication and the way he brings history to life at our school.
Way to go, Mr. Fitz!

Last Friday Miss Waara’s second graders hosted the first annual “Milk & Bookies” event in their classroom! Students set up the classroom and their families were invited to celebrate their writing success so far this school year. Of course, milk and cookies were served! 🍪🥛Students shared 2-3 published pieces of writing on a variety of topics and really enjoyed the time with their families. A big thank you to all who came… your support is so important! ❤️
Welcome to Williamsburg! Today in Social Studies, the fifth graders at Superior Hills had a “living through history” simulation activity to experience life in the 1700’s. Each student visited six different stations to learn about historic Colonial Williamsburg. Some students even dressed the part. ❤️
When you have the best boss and principal around! Lunch for staff today! 💙💙💙 Thank you, Andrew 🙌🏼
If you didn’t know MSHS had the best science teachers, now you know! Mr. Atwood & Mr. Thomas presented with Dr. Mojtaba Akhavan-Tafti to our community! Stop in and ask them about the cool research they are doing with our students! 🥼🔭🔬🧬
Check out our MAPS Support Staff Person of the Year - Pam Cornock & MAPS 6-12 Teacher of the Year - Kris O’Connor! We are so proud to have them at MSHS!
Our Artists in Excellence trip to Detroit was a huge success! Mr. Fether & our students toured a lot of art museums and public art sites large and small, met a few professional artists, tried new foods, toured the College for Creative Studies, rode the QLIne to downtown, and more. Students bonded and had some amazing conversations about art and life while getting an amazing big-city experience.
The 5th grade classes had the privilege of meeting and hearing an incredible presentation from Jeff Veley today! He is a speaker who travels the globe empowering kids. Jeff uses a two step “Peace Sign Approach” to help students learn how to face mean behavior and respond in ways to resolve relational conflicts. He was fun and entertaining with his discussion, magic tricks and songs- each holding a powerful message. Special thanks to Rorie for helping with the acting part of the presentation! ☮️
We will miss our favorite Police Liaison as he moves on to new adventures!
Lego Club session 2 is a wrap!

The MSHS administration would like to reestablish an MSHS Parent-Teacher/Staff-Student-Alumni Organization.
This organization's goal will be to enhance support for MSHS students and staff by strengthening connections with the Marquette and alumni communities. The committee will spearhead school and community events, provide valuable resources, offer classroom grants, organize appreciation luncheons and surprises, fund special projects, and much more!
The commitment would be a minimum of one meeting a month. The feedback from the survey below will set the times/dates. The first meeting will be in May 2025 to plan for the 2025-2026 school year.
If you are willing to join this group and support our MSHS students and staff, please complete the following survey by Friday, April 25, 2025: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfCjRKH0sIDGiCgRgJAHA8IwdnfysniPRlL8V1rhIFgp2eppA/viewform
