Spring Break will begin on Saturday, March 12th and students will return to school on Tuesday, March 22nd! During this time, our campus will be closed except for scheduled events and practices. Over Spring Break we will have changes made on campus, including the addition of fencing. We will have more information soon!

Parents, we need your help reminding students that they need to pick up after themselves in the cafeteria and on the patio. We have had to close the patio because it has been littered with an excessive amount of trash. Please help us to keep JWMHS clean.

In RANCH we are celebrating Women’s History Month, as well as continue to review mental health issues.

Congratulations to the JWMHS Chorus and Band for their performances at MPA this week!

Congratulations to ROTC at their State Drill Meet! They came in 2nd in the State and qualified for Nationals!

Congratulations to Mustang Wrestling, Logan O’Leary (3rd), and Andrew Mitchell (4th) for their performances at the FHSAA State Finals. The last time Mitchell High School had a state qualifier was 2015! Logan finished 8th in the State! Way to go!

Congratulations to all of our Spring Sports that are now in full swing! As a reminder, all tickets for sporting events must be purchased via GoFan (https://gofan.co/search) and we will not accept paper tickets or screenshots. The ticket must be on your mobile device.

The Senior Graduation Fee is $100 and can be paid on Rycor/Student Pay. This graduation fee is due on May 25th.

Our Junior/Senior Prom will be held on March 26th at 6PM at Innisbrook. Students need to make sure that they are in good standing for attendance, GPA, and behavior in order to attend Prom. This includes attending classes, including RANCH. You can purchase tickets and download the necessary forms on our website. Through the end of the month, tickets are $85 each. Beginning on March 1st they will go up! Buy your tickets early! If your parent/guardian needs to take the Dance Expectations Meeting, please email Ms. Schultz at jschultz@pasco.k12.fl.us and she will assign the class.

If you have an eSchool placeholder, on campus or off campus, you need to work on those classes on a regular basis. Do not procrastinate as second semester flies by and Seniors will need to have them finished by the end of April if they intend to participate in graduation!

Parking on campus is a privilege and you must have a hangtag and spot to park on campus. Applying for a spot does not guarantee parking. In fact, there is a currently a waiting list for those who want to park. We know that many of you  received cars over the holiday, and you must have a hangtag to park on campus. This means you must apply to park. If you have not applied, you will not be on the waiting list if a spot opens. Please follow our rules.

Please make sure that you can pass the Covid-19 screener (Student Covid-19 Screener) each morning that is found on our website. If you cannot, please stay home. If you are positive for Covid-19 or have been exposed to someone who is positive for Covid-19, please stay home and contact your administrator so that we can help you with your school work.

We will not have an Around the Ranch newsletter this week! Please visit our website and social media to continue to keep up with all of the things going on at JWMHS.

Let’s make more excellence this week in Mustang Nation!
