Welcome!

We’re so excited and ready to kick off the 2025–2026 school year! There's nothing like the fresh start and renewed excitement that comes after a summer break. We hope you and your families had a restful and enjoyable summer.

We have so many fun activities going on to start the year.

Registration Info: 

Online registration: Here is the link:  https://www.mtnhomesd.org/domain/82

Returning Students: 

Students who did not register in May must start here: https://www.mtnhomesd.org/Page/352

They must also have their parents log into their Parent Portal and ensure all information is correct and their student is registered for the school year.  This is where you will also find your student’s schedule for the upcoming school year.  Parent Portal link is here: https://powerschool.mtnhomesd.org/public/

New Students: 

Students who did not register in May and are new to the school district this year must start here:

https://powerschool.mtnhomesd.org/public/formbuilder/form.html?formid=162769. Once you have filled out the online paperwork, your student's counselor will schedule an appointment with you.

First Day of School:

August 12: Students are able to arrive and (if they’d like a hard copy) pick up their class schedule in the gym foyer area beginning at 7:30 AM.  If students don’t grab their hard copy, please make sure they look at their schedule (online) that morning to make sure it reflects the latest update, and they get to where they’re supposed to be (staff will be extra visible to help guide students accordingly).  If your student’s schedule has errors (i.e., missing a class period, duplicates, etc.), we will ask them to report to their first-period class, then ask their teacher to go to the counseling center to get the error corrected. If there are no errors and a student would simply like to change a class or two, they can do so before school, during lunch, or after school in the foyer. There will be no teacher changes. On that same note, we are aware that schedule change requests are starting to come in.  We ask that you be patient as we continue processing these requests. Our counselors are working tirelessly to balance class sizes, shuffle numbers, and continue processing new student registration. We will do all we can to accommodate reasonable requests.

Schedule Changes:

Students who wish to request a schedule change may do so by emailing their counselors between August 4th and August 11th. After the 11th, students may speak with their assigned counselors in person—before school, during lunch, or after school. The final day to request schedule changes is Friday, August 15th.

MHHS Open House: 

Monday, August 11th from 5:00 to 6:00: Parents and students are welcome to roam the building, stop into classrooms, and meet our staff during this hour. MHHS administration will hold a very brief, informal welcome at 5 PM in our main gymnasium for anyone who’d like to swing by. This is optional - you may also simply come and walk the building during the 5-6 PM hour.  

Bell Schedule for the First Week:

We will have 7-period days for the first week of school since we are starting on a Tuesday. We will start our normal modified block schedule the following week.

“Back to School Bash”

Friday, 8/15 - 6-8 PM

We will be holding our annual “Back to School Bash” in the Senior Parking Lot and our famous “Green Acres” practice field (behind the gym).  There is a $5 entry fee. Booths, snacks, music, and various fun activities are planned for students’ entertainment.  All activities will be held outdoors.
