Mrs. Jake's Advanced English 4 students are reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. While they are reading it, they are focusing on the theme of responsibility of creation. This applies to parenting, dog ownership, inventions, content creations, etc. As a companion assignment, students designed their own monsters. They create physical representations using air-dry clay and craft supplies. Along with this, students will write a narrative in which they describe the monster's origin story. Each student gives his monster a name, as well as purpose for why it was created. Each student must answer this very important question: How does the creator take responsibility for his creation, unlike Victor does in the story? #MHSTheHighSchoolOfChoice

What an incredible culminating experience to close our Black History Month activities at MHS! Our student-produced presentation, The Evolution of African American Music, was a powerful tribute that celebrated history, culture, resilience and artistic influence across generations!
From the moving performances by our No Place For Hate, MHS BSU, Choir, Jazz Band, dance and hip hop numbers, amazing fashion show to the meaningful insight shared by our special guest, Professor Greg Carr from Harris-Stowe University, the presentation was both educational and inspiring!
We are SO PROUD of our students and staff for the dedication, creativity and passion they pour into bringing this program to life year after year! This year was certainly special and more than a performance — it was a celebration of legacy, learning and the power of music to tell a powerful story!!

One of THE BEST days of the school year!!! Today, Mascoutah High School LCL/LIFE students and our friends from Triad came together for the annual MHs vs. Triad Basketball Game and it was everything school spirit should be: competition, teamwork, laughter, encouragement and unforgettable memories!
This event is so much more than a game. It’s a celebration of the joy and pride of the power of students supporting students. Watching our Life Skills athletes take the court, cheered on by a packed student and family fan section, dedicated mentors, coaches and staff, is a reminder of what makes our school communities so special!!
A HUGE THANK YOU to Triad for hosting and for helping create such a welcoming environment. Thank you to all of the players who gave it their all and reminded us what heart looks like. Thank you to our incredible LCL/LIFE mentors, student fan section, families, staff and coaches who made the day electric with encouragement and pride!!
Days like today remind us that when schools and teams come together, everyone wins. đź’ś
