Good Afternoon Blackcats,
A main water line broke a few minutes ago and as a result the water supply to several campuses appears to be off. MISD and City Officials are working together and it is possible the water may be off through the remainder of the school day. We appreciate the efforts of city and district employees to resolve this as quickly as possible.
Congrats to Ms. Wattles and our MHS students who traveled this weekend representing our art department! We are super proud of you!
