Web Filtering

Did you know that we are working hard to make sure your students are safe online both in school, and at home?  Mountain House High School and the Lammersville Unified School District have partnered with an internet filtering company called Securly to provide both in school and at home internet filtering for our students.  Because all of our Chromebooks are managed on the lammersvilleusd.net domain, we have the ability to apply the same filters on our Chromebooks that we do here in school at home.  We also have the ability to control how much, or how little content students can see.  If you want to know more about our internet filtering system, feel free to visit Securly's website at http://www.securly.com/

Homecoming / Up and Coming

Our inaugural homecoming week, which we call "Up and Coming,” is fast approaching. During the week of September 29th through October 3rd, the freshman and sophomore classes will be constructing floats for our parade and engaging in multiple class competitions. We’re asking for help from our wonderful community to create an event that Mountain House and MHHS will never forget! We need to borrow two flatbed trailers to create the floats. The trailers should be 14 feet long by 7 feet wide with wooden beds and students may be nailing or screwing into the beds to attach frames or other structures. If you have a trailer that you would be willing to let us borrow for that week, please let us know. Also, we will need lumber and other building supplies. In addition, we are seeking parent volunteers to help the students create the floats from 3:30- 8 PM each night on the MHHS campus. Skills in building and art would be particularly helpful! If you are available to help with the freshman or sophomore float, please contact Miss Garrison at agarrison@lammersvilleusd.net

Thanks and GO MUSTANGS!

Class Schedule Balancing

During the week of 8/25 through 8/29, our classes and schedules will be shifting a bit.  As we start our first school year, we are making sure that we are balancing our class sizes, and offering the correct number of sections of our courses.  Because of this balancing, some students schedules may change.  If your student's schedule will change over the next week we will contact both the student and the parent to let them know.  If you have any questions or concerns about this, please let us know!

Project Lead the Way Biomedical Science--CSI Event

Friday the 22nd of August marked the beginning of the Biomedical Science program's kick off event, complete with a mock crime scene. The curriculum for the Biomedical Science revolves around the "death" of a fictional character, and the students use project based learning methodology to determine the cause of death, time of death, investigate samples, DNA, etc.  The students met together on the 22nd in the Mulit-Use room where they heard a mock 911 call, and then our local Mountain House Firemen and EMT's showed up on campus to "treat" the patient, finally pronouncing her "dead."  The students had the opportunity to practice CPR chest compressions on the "patient" and had the opportunity to hear about the job of an EMT, and firefighter, and had the opportunity to take a look at the truck that our firemen use in our community.  It was a great start to the year for our Biomedical Science program.
