At the beginning of the school year, students at MHS were greeted as they walked back through the doors with the delicious smell of cinnamon rolls. MHS assistant cook Cindy was busy drizzling frosting and excited to welcome students into the lunchroom for the 2025-26 school year. Cinnamon rolls are paired with scrambled eggs, which is one of the many options students have at breakfast! #FoundationsForTheFuture

The district has worked carefully to ensure the proposed referendum will provide long-term value to students, staff, and residents.

1️⃣ If the operating levy is approved: A home with a median value of $250,000 in the district would see a property tax increase of $18.91 per month starting in 2026.

2️⃣ If the capital projects levy is approved: It would add a monthly tax increase of $4.83 per month, starting in 2026, for a total of $23.74 per month if both questions are approved.
