Mexia Junior High School

🍁 Dear MJH Family, As we move through this busy season, I just want to take a moment to say how truly thankful I am for our incredible MJH community. To our staff — thank you for showing up every day with heart, grit, and dedication. You pour into our students in ways that matter far beyond the classroom. To our students — thank you for your energy, your growth, your resilience, and the joy you bring to our halls. You are the reason we do what we do. To our families — thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and partnering with us to help our Blackcats shine. MJH is stronger, brighter, and better because of YOU. Thankful to be a Blackcat, Principal Wilson

🖤🍽️ CTE Cooking Crew in Action! 🍽️🖤 Our CTE Cooking classes rolled up their sleeves and got to WORK just in time for Thanksgiving! They made banana pudding and chocolate pie completely from scratch — and let me tell you… these kids understood the assignment! 🥧 From mixing, whipping, and measuring to taste-testing (the best part 😄), they learned real kitchen skills while creating real holiday desserts.

Congratulations to our 6th grade boys for winning the Super 🏈 Bowl! Very proud of how hard they worked all season. 🏆

Students in life skills learned about perimeter/area by building a fence for their turkeys using marshmallows and toothpicks. They then decorated cookies to celebrate thanksgiving

📣 Happy 67th Day of School! At this point in the year, we’ve been in school long enough to know two things: 1️⃣ The number 67 now lives rent-free in all our junior high brains. 2️⃣ Our students will find any excuse to make a 6–7 joke. Here’s to day 67—may it be 6-7 times better than yesterday! 😄 #Day67 #SixSevenJokes #MJH

🍩 Thank You, Blackcat Families! 🖤 A huge THANK YOU to all the parents and guardians who joined us this morning for Pastries with Parents in honor of National Parent Involvement Day! Your support, smiles, and presence mean so much to our students and our MJH staff. Seeing our cafeteria filled with families connecting, laughing, and sharing a sweet moment together truly made our morning. We are grateful for the partnership we have with each of you—together

🛑💬 Bullying Prevention at MJH 💬🛑 Today our students participated in the Crimestoppers Bullying Prevention program, learning about David’s Legacy and the powerful message behind standing up, speaking out, and supporting one another. The presentation reminded our students that kindness is strength, actions matter, and every voice can help stop bullying. ❤️ Thank you to Crimestoppers for empowering our Blackcats with tools to make our campus safer and stronger.

📚🇺🇸 US History Goes Mobile! 🇺🇸📚 Our 8th grade students hit the library today for a mobile scavenger hunt, turning history into a hands-on adventure! They played “Who’s Who?” to identify the signers of the Constitution — and even tackled a tricky bonus question that kept everyone on their toes! 🧐✨ Lots of teamwork, lots of learning, and LOTS of fun
