By Lauren Toscano11th Grade Student I have never been a new student. I went to the same school from kindergarten to eighth grade, and then I started at a high school in ninth grade, just like everyone else. I had new teachers and things like that, but all the other people in my grade did,...
By Michael MeleMMI Science Instructor Class begins at 5:45 A.M., so don’t be late! I show up for class long before my students do. Not literally, of course, but my mind is already running in teacher mode from minute one. The first thing I do is check my phone for email messages. You know, every...

By Emily SeratchClass President, Class of 2015 I can’t believe it’s my senior year already. Some people have been waiting for this time to come for years, but I’ve been trying to slow it down. It’s crazy to think this is my last year walking the halls of MMI. I can remember walking through the...
By Jason TribbetMMI Athletic Director If you enjoy playing sports as much as I do, then I don’t need to tell you why playing sports will benefit you not only now but the rest of your life. I have sports to thank for some of the best memories I have growing up. Playing catch with...
