ARTICLE SPOTLIGHT: “Outlier or Trend? An Examination of MHS in the News.” by Laina Gustafson.

Based on an analysis of negative headlines in the news, the rate of scandals at MHS is comparable to - and in some cases lower than - other schools in our area. But if MHS is going through these events at a “normal” rate, why do so many members of our community continue to believe we are an outlier? Often, the emotional turmoil in the aftermath of these events can lead us to lose perspective. We become susceptible to feeling singled out in our suffering, as individuals and as a school community. For students at MHS, it can lead to frustration and confusion.
In an interview with The Cardinal Chronicle, Principal Shoemaker explained the administration’s response to these newsworthy events. “I understand the students’ perspective, their frustration,” Shoemaker said in part. “I get how frustrating it is not to know the details.”

Read Laina Gustafson’s full article to learn more about how MHS compares to other schools in our area and to hear how the MHS administration is responding to headline events.
