🎭 NEW THEME ALERT: Spotlight on Success! 🌟
We are incredibly proud to announce the Moorhead Area Public Schools district theme for the 2026-27 school year! 🧡🖤

This year, we are shining a light on a massive milestone—the grand opening of our brand-new, state-of-the-art Moorhead High School Theater and Phase 2 construction! 🏛️✨ This space is a stunning reminder of what happens when our community invests heavily in the dreams of our youth.

SAVE THE DATE:

📆 Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

🗓️ Tuesday, August 18 | 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.

📍 New MHS Theater

But the stage we are setting goes way beyond the performing arts. In MAPS, every classroom, science lab, athletic field, and workshop is its own stage. Whether it's mastering a trade, leading a club, or being a compassionate friend, we are making sure no victory, big or small, goes unnoticed. 💡

It takes an entire cast and crew to make magic happen—from our dedicated teachers and operational staff to our cheering families and brilliant student stars. 🎬🍿

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year, Spuds. Let’s make it a showstopper! ⚡️

Cooking up community connections! 👩‍🍳👮‍♂️✨

This summer, our Moorhead High School Career Academy was thrilled to welcome the Moorhead Police Youth in Action program for a day of hands-on learning and fun!

Our amazing FACS teacher—and former MnACTE New Teacher of the Year—Johanna Heigaard opened up her kitchen to teach the kids how to whip up delicious, homemade chicken nuggets from scratch. 🍗🔥

The Moorhead Police Department’s youth initiatives are all about breaking down barriers and building strong, trusting relationships between local officers and our youth in a positive, informal setting. We love seeing our state-of-the-art Career Academy spaces bring people together to cook, connect, and mentor the next generation!

A huge thank you to Johanna and the Moorhead Police Department for making this summer day so meaningful (and delicious)! 🙌🧡🖤
