Ms. Chrissy Velino has been nominated by colleague, Ms. Dibadj, for the MHS Tribe 5 Award!! The award recognizes staff members that EMPOWER students, show COMPASSION, SERVICE to others, PATIENCE and VISION. Students absolutely adore Ms. Velino.

Congratulations to Mrs. Mary Neisler as this year's M19 Emerson Excellence in Teaching Award winner!! Mrs. Neisler has been instrumental in developing innovative practices with respect to vocational skills for our young adults and students at MHS. From development and implementation of a school-wide coffee bar that is managed and run by our life skills students to initiating and maintaining relationships with a variety of community partnerships for our life skills students to receive job coaching and real life vocational practice, Mrs. Neisler has led the charge for our students to have greater experiences in the vocational area which has been valuable as they have transitioned to life after high school. Furthermore, she worked tirelessly with administration to develop a functional curriculum and program which is housed in our new LIFE House environment for our students who continue their education beyond their traditional four high school years. She has developed course work which focuses on increasing independence for successful transitions to supported independent living environments and workplace settings. Mrs. Neisler’s dedication to the students she serves goes far beyond the classroom. She has spent much of her time immersing herself in understanding and implementing transition plans, assessments, and goals and has provided additional training to her colleagues in the area of transition. To extend her knowledge and support even further, she developed a Transition Handbook which includes information, tips, and resources for parents to assist them and partner with them for the student’s success after high school. Families have often shared their utmost appreciation for the high expectations, opportunities, and support she has provided for their child/young adult. Congratulations and thank you for your dedication to our students, Mrs. Neisler!!! #19EveryStudent
