As a reminder, there is a mandatory meeting tonight for parents of students who will have junior or senior standing in August that want to go on the Washington D.C. Trip (March 2026). If you are unable to attend, contact hfricke@mp23schools.com to arrange a time to come into the school to discuss and sign off on the trip policy. Trip spots will only be reserved for students with a parent signature on file. The meeting is between the band concerts, at 7:00 p.m., in the Multipurpose Gym and should only last 15 minutes.
Tonight we celebrate the Arts. We would love to invite our community to celebrate with us!

With the cooler temperature, and a current forecast of 100% precipitation at 4:00 p.m., we have decided to move the Grand March indoors. While we would truly love to utilize the courthouse, we feel this is the best decision today.
The Grand March will be held in the MPHS Main Gym today at 4:30 p.m. All guests and students should park in the west parking lot and enter at the "Gym Entrance." No other entrances will be unlocked. The doors will unlock promptly at 4:10 p.m. for seating.
Should there be a clearing in the weather following the Grand March, we encourage students and parents to utilize the Courthouse for any pictures you may want to take on your own.
For those not wanting to brave the cold and soggy conditions, the Grand March will be streamed on the MPHS Facebook page as well.
We kindly ask that you use restroom facilities at home prior to coming into the high school building as we have no custodians on duty today. Please, do not bring any food or drinks in the building today.
To celebrate our hard work during the Day of Service (May 2, 2025), we held a fun afternoon assembly to wind down after a long day. We enjoyed the talents of Noel and Dan from Dueling Pianos International. Here's a few of the fun moments we had during that assembly:

Our Prom decorators accomplished setup in record time! We are ready to celebrate some Hollywood stars!
The Grand March is set for 4:30 p.m. up town at the Courthouse on Saturday, May 3. We are keeping an eye on the weather. Should the weather require a change of venue, we will send another email to students/parents and post it on the school's website and Facebook page. We will make a decision around 2:00 p.m. on Saturday after checking the weather radar.
Should a change of venue be required, the event will still take place at 4:30 p.m. in Mt. Pulaski. If there is a change, details will be released at that time.
Attention Grade 10 & 11 students (and parents of these students) interested in next year’s Washington D.C. trip:
There will be a mandatory meeting for students and parents of those who have already signed up or are currently planning on participating. This meeting will cover school policy regarding the trip. The meeting will be next Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. in the multipurpose gym.
Please enter on the west side of the building at the "Gym Entrance."
Participation in this trip is limited to students who will have Junior or Senior standing at the beginning of school in August of 2025.
Questions may be directed to Mrs. Fricke (hfricke@mp23schools.com) or Mr. Erlenbush (berlenbush@mp23schools.com).
