MJHS’s Gobble Gala was a huge success thanks to the incredible work of rooms 500, 502, 503, and 505 students and staff! 🦃

Throughout the day, they welcomed staff with warm smiles, served with pride, and helped keep everything running smoothly from setup to cleanup.

CALLING ALL VETERANS! Join us tomorrow, November 11th, at MJHS!
Our 7th-grade science classes engaged in a lab where they learned about physical and chemical changes. When you hear comments like "I never knew school could make me this happy" and "This is the best day of school I've ever had" from the students, we know something special is happening!
Pink Out at MJHS! 💗
Last night’s Pink Out Girls Basketball Games were filled with school spirit, teamwork, and a powerful message of support for Breast Cancer Awareness.
A huge thank you to our amazing Blue Crew for hosting such a meaningful event and to everyone who donated raffle baskets and giveaways. Your generosity made a difference! All proceeds will go to Pink Heals of Joliet to support a local family in need.
We also loved debuting the new Demon Lounge, where students entered a raffle to win VIP seats and a staff server for the night! A fun new way to cheer on our teams! 🏀🔥
Thank you to our students, staff, families, and community for showing that our MJHS Demons care on and off the court! Go Demons! 💙🖤🤍💕
