Exchange Student Needs Host Family

A loving host family is needed from January to May for an Italian exchange student wanting to attend Mountain House High. She is a great student that loves kids and animals, music and singing. She would like to learn about your culture and share her Italian culture with you. She speaks English fluently but wants to improve her accent. She has been attending school at a neighboring high school, but her host family is moving away and she needs a new host family. 

Interested families can call Ceci Haas, Area Coordinator of Cultural Homestay International, for more information about hosting her!

Finals and Winter Break

As winter break is fast approaching, we want to remind our Mustang Families that this year, semester finals will take place this week on December 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th.  Students are required to complete their semester by taking their semester final on these dates.  Students who miss their semester final will not be given the opportunity to make-up their finals on a different date due to trips, family vacations, or personal leaves except in emergency situations.


Semester grades are official grades that are reported out on a student's official high school transcript.  Students who miss semester finals will likely see an impact on the overall semester transcript grade that is reported by the teacher.  Families should not plan on leaving school prior to the dates of semester finals.

It is our goal to prepare our students for the expectations of college and career readiness.  Part of this preparation is helping students and families understand the importance of their student's participation in semester finals.

It is also important to note that semester finals also happen at the end of our school year on May 25th, 26th, and 27th and 28th.  Students and families should also plan to be present on these days for the same reason.

You can find the finals bell schedules HERE.

If you have any questions about the semester finals, please contact your student's counselor.

Join us in congratulating Nyila on her accomplishment.

Cold or Flu?

Does your child have a sore throat, cough, and high fever? Could it be the flu? Or just a cold? 

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There are some key differences between the common cold and the flu.

Cold Symptoms:  sore throat, cough, stuffy or runny nose, mild fatigue, and or chills or mild-grade fever. Colds are generally milder and last about 1 week.

Flu Symptoms are different every year. The flu has more intense symptoms that come on rapidly, such as body & muscle aches, headaches, fever/chills, exhaustion, and usually causes dry coughs and tightness in the chest.   It is important to take care of the symptoms promptly so they do not get out of control and result in a more serious illness. 

To help with the spread of the cold and flu virus, please teach your kids good hand washing habits to help stop or minimize the spread.

Senior Warning (Assassin Game)

It has become a tradition with seniors in many towns to run coordinated activities in the weeks before graduation that are meant to be fun but aren’t always in their best interests.  One of these activities is a game called “Senior Assassin.”  In this game, students are assigned a “target” that they attempt to eliminate or “kill” using Nerf guns.  It has come to our attention that a large group of MHHS seniors has organized this game amongst themselves this school year. 

While some students and even parents may feel like this is a harmless tradition among students, MHHS does not support or condone this activity in any way.  In an era where frequent mass and school shootings exist, we believe that this type of activity is not only unacceptable but can lead to potential danger.  Please be assured that this is NOT a school activity, and the high school does not endorse this game in any way.

Please be aware that students involved in this game often drive recklessly, take unnecessary chances, “hunt” one another after dark, and carry fake weapons in playing this game. The fake weapons are often painted to look realistic.  These types of behaviors pose a serious safety threat should there be any encounter with local police. Also, imitation weapons on campus are subject to serious disciplinary and legal consequences.  In some cases, participation in the game has impacted school attendance and academic focus.  Students and parents should understand that participation in this game during the school day, at any school event on or off-campus, or while a student is on their way to or from school or to or from a school activity is considered “on-campus” and can suffer disciplinary consequences if they participate in this activity at those times.  In addition, students should remember that possession of these weapons in student vehicles parked on campus are also prohibited.  All schools and school campuses in the district including fields and playgrounds are considered off-limits if students choose to play this game. 

We encourage parents to talk to their students about their participation in activities of this nature and discuss the potential impact and consequences that can result if this unsanctioned game turns negative or tragic.  We strongly discourage students from participating in this dangerous activity which could lead to harm and could lead to school discipline.

Mountain House High School and Lammersville Unified School District do want to create a positive, teambuilding atmosphere during a student’s senior year.  It is our hope that we will continue to work together as school staff, student leaders, parents and the community to find safe and positive ways for our students to bond with one another and celebrate their personal and collective achievements as we head toward graduation.  Please visit our Senior Information webpage HERE for detailed information about our existing approved senior activities.

Santa Clara University Invitational Speech and Debate Tournament

Santa Clara University Invitational Speech and Debate tournament happened over Thanksgiving Break and the Mountain House Mustangs have much to be thankful for!

  • Astrid Mann, Komal Vij, Rithanya Sivasubrahmanian and Nabeeha Ali all broke into the Original Oratory (OO) Semifinals and Astrid Mann got to finals!
  • Ananya Domala making it to the finals in Expository (EXPOS)
  • Isaac Magpoc making it to the finals in (POI) Programmed Oral Interpretation;
  • Sumaiya Alvi making it to the finals in Oratorical Interpretation (OI)
  • Aashril Shazar and Dhruva Kolikineni making it to semi-finals in Impromptu (IMP) and Octofinals in Parliamentary debate.  (As an impressive side note, these guys are ranked in the top 20 of the country for Parliamentary Debate!!!!! Whooooo-hoooooo!!!)
While these listed are taking home trophies, everyone that attended and engaged in intellectual exchange or learned something new, shared their passion, told a story and used their voice.  They are truly all winners.  They are all taking home more than awards, they take home the gift of critical thinking, open-mindedness, storytelling, and the gift of speaking up for what they believe.
