🎃👻 Spooky Season Meets Creativity at MJH! 🕸️🏚️ Last week, our talented Blackcats in Art and Theatre Design brought their spooky imaginations to life! 🎨💀 From creepy creations and haunting artwork to designing their very own haunted houses, our students showed off their creativity, imagination, and design skills! Who knew learning could be so SPOOK-tacular?! 🦇🕷️ We love seeing our Blackcats think outside the box and turn their ideas into something amazing! All Grit. All Grind. All Blackcat. #MJHBlackcats #SpookyCreations #ArtAndTheatre #BlackcatCreativity

This Friday !

On Wednesday, November 11th, Mexia ISD invites all Veterans to attend an appreciation breakfast from 8:00-8:50am in the Mexia High School Library, and a Veteran's Day program at 9:00am in the Mexia High School Gym. All MISD campuses will host the student-led Veterans Day program to honor our community Veterans. Immediately following the program will be a flag retirement ceremony in the MHS south parking lot.

We look forward to seeing all of our Veterans and their families at our Veterans Day celebration.

From spicy to sweet, our food processing classes have been absolute pros in the kitchen this past week! 🌶️🎃 We kicked things off by chopping up fresh ingredients for a big batch of homemade salsa, followed by a masterclass in proper canning to lock in all that flavor. Then, we shifted right into fall mode by tackling pumpkins! Students learned how to safely process them from scratch, saving and prepping the seeds for roasting. The pumpkin flesh is prepped and ready—next week, we tackle the art of making the ultimate pumpkin pie filling! 🥧✨

🎶🎺 Our Blackcat Band Hit All the Right Notes! 🖤🐾 What an AMAZING performance by our MJH 7th and 8th Grade Band at their Fall Concert! 🎼👏 Our students truly showed off their hard work, dedication, and musical talent, and we couldn’t be more PROUD! 🌟 A HUGE shoutout to our incredible band directors for the time, patience, and passion they pour into our students! Your hard work was on full display! ❤️ 🎵 Big talent. Big sound. BLACKCAT PRIDE! 🐾🖤 #MJHBlackcats #BlackcatPride #AllGritAllGrindAllBlackcat
