A BIG “Thank You!”to the student body of Mount St. Mary for its efforts to contribute to our Higher Ground Campaign! The students, led by each of the class officers, raised over $5,000! We are deeply grateful to our students for the pride, the love, and the devotion they have displayed during the 2 weeks they raised this amount TOGETHER!

Please contact Mrs. Kim Wagner at 631-8865, ext. 209, and she will be happy to make your appointments for you. Keep in mind that P/T conferences are not required. We hold them so that if you have concerns, you may sit down and talk with our teachers.
Parents, when our teams (drama, athletic, music) participate in the State Tournament, and because I strongly believe in the support of ROCKET PRIDE and the effort our students have made to get to the highest level of competition, I not only allow students an “excused” absence to attend (provided not on the D/F List), but if the competition occurs during the school day, I actually close school so that we can ALL attend to support our students!
Picture order formswere distributed this week to the students and are due October 8th. Make-up pictures for underclassmen will be taken on Monday, October 12th during 1st hour. Senior make-up pictures will also be taken on October 12th from 7:00am to 7:30am in the auditorium. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Wangen at
