Middle School
Welcome Back to Middle & High School Students & Their Families!
Welcome to the 2011-12 academic year! School got off to an exciting start with successful middle and high school trips September 6th - 9th, which staff and students proclaimed “the best ever!”
Now that we’ve been on our “regular schedule” for a week, I’d like to tell you about what’s happening on campus this year. First of all, we are very thankful to welcome back all our faculty members from last year! We have an exceptional team of dedicated teachers.
Assignment Planners for Sale
The school has ordered Planners for the incoming 6th graders. We have a limited number of planners available for purchase in the office for 7th and 8th graders. Please have a check or exact change for $6.
MS/HS Performing Arts: Song Share!

Middle and High School Dress Code
This is a friendly reminder about our dress code at school. While we do not yet have school uniforms, we do require neat and modest dress for school and public events. To be very clear, the following are not appropriate for school: low cut and/or skimpy blouses and shirts, underwear showing, short skirts and dresses, short shorts, ripped or torn clothing. Shorts, dresses, skirts should be at least mid-thigh in length.

Students Share 'Holiday Cheer' and Carols
“Bravo! Bravo!” said the smiling older gentleman, as he stood and clapped for the assembled students as they finished each song. The students – approximately 45 middle schoolers from Mount Madonna School (MMS) – visited the Senior Center in Morgan Hill on December 1, to spread a little cheer and sing some well-known holiday carols.
