Central Methodist University's post highlights Marshall High School competition results at the Young Writer's Day on November 13. Congrats to all!
Interested MHS students had the opportunity to visit Central Methodist University. They were able to hear from an admissions panel, tour the campus, and enjoy an all you can eat lunch in the dining hall. CMU has so much to offer with over 40 different programs to study in a town that feels like you are right at home!
MHS was honored to start off our Red Ribbon Week with guest speaker, Saline County Coroner, Willie Harlow. He shared his professional perspective of dealing with the scary reality of illicit drugs to help educate our students with facts. This week students will learn about finding their "Natural High" and keeping their bodies safe and healthy.
MHS students were honored to attend the annual 131st Bomb Wing Career Fair at Whiteman AFB. They were able to do so many activities. Everything from talking to soldiers who pack the emergency gear, work on the B2 sheet metal, build bombs, medics, Black Hawk and C130 pilots to getting in the aircrafts and checking out the B2 and the WartHog
A big shout out thank you to the Academy of Salon Professionals for being our first Cookies & Careers guest speakers at MHS! Interested students were able to hear about their programs and the world of cosmetology and esthetics.

Here are details about our 4th annual tax night. If you received a W-2 for wages earned last year, we invite you to attend. We will help you file your taxes for free!! Tax night will be held in Mrs. Benitez's room (room 23) this Thursday, February 15th. You may come anytime between 3:30 and 5pm. Please see the flyer for details on what you should bring. You will also need to bring your computer.
Note: When you file your tax return, you will not be claiming yourself. You can still be claimed as a dependent by your parents or guardian. Filing your taxes does not affect your parent or guardian's taxes. If you have any questions about this, please let Mrs. Benitez know.
**In many cases students don't make enough to owe any taxes, so any amount that was withheld from your check for federal or state taxes could be returned to you.
Hope to see you there!
