STUDENT ALERT! Learning Commons Opens!

The new MHHS Learning Commons is now opening for student use during the school day, and into the evening.

READ THIS POST CLOSELY and follow all of the directions if you would like to use the new Learning Commons.  

Did you know that the Learning Commons is now open for use as a quiet study space?  As of Monday 12/11/17, we are opening up the Learning Commons every day starting at 7:30 A.M.  The Learning Commons will be open every day until 6:00 P.M.  We are excited to have this space open for students to come in and have a quiet study space.  Before you come use the Learning Commons, you must read the following rules, and take a short quiz to show that you understand the rules of the Learning Commons.

Learning Commons Rules:
