Mr. Huber
 Welcome to Manistee High School - the high school of choice in Manistee County!
As always, our goal at Manistee High School is to provide the utmost in educational opportunities for our students - utilizing both our state of the art facilities and outstanding staff. Whether running a host of challenging classes or providing support systems along the way, we strive to do it the Chippewa way - the right way - every day!
PRINCIPAL'S NOTES FOR THE UPCOMING 2008-2009 SCHOOL YEAR
We hope everyone is enjoying another beautiful northern Michigan summer! At MHS, things have barely slowed down; summer school, sports camps, conditioning, meetings, and free breakfast/lunch to all Manistee area kids during the summer has kept the building in continuous use. Once again, Manistee Area Public Schools enter this school year with a commitment to provide the best possible opportunities for all of our students. We at the high school embrace the responsibility of creating programs of excellence. Please refer to this newsletter to bring you up to date on helpful information for the beginning of the year. Some points of interest include:
Orientation: Orientation hours have been expanded in order to give students a chance to change classes, pick up text books, and tour the building. Each class has a full morning of registration, along with an open registration for all students each afternoon. Please refer to the orientation schedule for further details. By increasing orientation hours we have reduced the number of days for drop/adds during the start of terms. Schedule changes are required to be handled during orientation, and drop/adds will be limited to the first two days of each term. Please understand this is due to the value of each class day in a trimester format!
Community Pool: Construction is under way for the new Manistee community pool located at MHS! The initial timeline calls for first public swimming to take place in May. We’ll continue to keep you updated on the construction phases as the project progresses!
PowerLearning: The PowerLearning initiative is progressing; MHS is currently being equipped as a wireless access point. During the first term instructional support equipment will be placed in classrooms, while the final phase of student issued-computers is targeted for the beginning of second term.
We look forward to another great year full of our traditions of academic and activities excellence! Our commitment to your expectations continues to make Manistee Area Public Schools the schools of choice.
LET’S GO CHIPS!
