Congratulations to December Student of the Month winner, Asia-Lynn Neuhaus. Asia is an eighth grader who was nominated by Kayla Rosenbeck, Joe Byrne, and Jessica Catalano-McCloskey. 

Asia-Lynn's teachers report that she consistently demonstrates a level of responsibility and maturity well beyond what we typically see with eighth graders. Whether in the classroom, during group work, or on independent assignments, she approaches every task with care, diligence, and a genuine desire to do her best. She asks questions and advocates for herself when she doesn't understand something. Asia-Lynn's work ethic is exceptional—she stays organized, meets deadlines without reminders, and takes initiative when she sees something that needs to be done. Beyond academics, she brings kindness into every interaction that she has, including ones with her teachers. She treats her peers with respect, supports classmates who may be struggling, and contributes to a positive classroom environment simply by being thoughtful and dependable. Her leadership, character, and consistent effort make her truly deserving of this recognition.  

If you see Asia-Lynn, be sure to congratulate her.

The Blizzard of Kindness continues! 

All January, teachers can nominate individual students or their entire class for showing kindness. Nominees will have their name added to a snowflake in our lobby display and will be entered for a chance to win a special treat! 

"We don't have to agree on anything to be kind to one another" —Unknown

Medina IMPACT club will be continuing to recognize one Medina Junior-Senior High School Staff member each month with the Mustang Mentor Award. Students are encouraged to nominate a staff member for this honor in their grade level Google Classrooms.

Congratulations to World Language teacher, Mrs. Rennie, our December nominee.

You make a difference!

Second Semester Update: As we wrap up the first semester and prepare for the start of the second semester, there will be a two-week add/drop period from January 26 through February 6. Students considering a schedule change should carefully review the information in HERE for important details and requirements.

Annual reviews and course selection are underway! Please be on the lookout for a pass from either Mrs. Krawiec or Mrs. McGrath (covering for Mrs. Doll). Prior to meeting, encourage students to begin thinking about which electives they may want to take next year. As a reminder, course selections should align with and support a student's career goals. All course descriptions can be found in the course catalog for reference. We look forward to meeting with you all!

Next year's course catalog can be found here.

MHS scholarship applications are due on January 28th at 3 PM. All information is on the senior class Google classroom. 

Every Tuesday during homeroom, our students take time to plan and review their goals for the marking period. We ask the students to focus on three areas or ABC:

A=Attendance Goal

B=Behavior or Personal Goal

C=Course Goal

Students track their goals in the DESSA app on their Chromebook.

The new semester begins Monday, January 26, 2026. Please take a few minutes to check in with your child on their goals and discuss areas to focus on. Setting and achieving realistic goals can help your child stay motivated and develop a strong work ethic that is needed throughout their adult life.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
