🌟 Surprise visits are the best kind of visits! 🌟
Dr. Seitz and Dr. Bishop spent part of the afternoon traveling across our schools to recognize our Navigators of the Quarter — outstanding staff who go above and beyond every day! 🚀

🌟 MCPS Student Success Spotlight! 🌟
It’s been an amazing week across Middlesex County Public Schools!
💫 Compass Academy partnered with the Cryer Center & Hands Across Middlesex’s Food Pantry — supporting our community and learning the power of giving back.
🎶Our 4th and 5th Grade Choir absolutely knocked it out of the park at the Fall Concert last Thursday! Led by Ms. Turner, the kids sounded fantastic and looked like they were having a blast up on stage. Their hard work really paid off, and we couldn't be prouder of the show they put on.
🌺 In celebration of Red Ribbon Week, SCW students planted red poppy bulbs to raise awareness about living a drug- and alcohol-free life — thank you to Brent & Becky’s Bulbs for your support!
🏐 Huge congratulations to our 1st Team All-District Volleyball Players — Carly Jessie (Libero of the Year!), Kinsley Horn, Hannah Lambert, and Annie Bray!
🎓 Applause to our newest National Honor Society inductees for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
🎓 MHS students also explored future careers during Education Immersion Day at Longwood University, connecting with education and psychology programs.

💧🌿 Over two days (Oct 23-24, 2025), 57 MHS 9th graders took action in the Restore Urbanna Creek Project by collecting water quality data at two sites along Urbanna Creek. 🦪✨ Their goal? To compare current data with baseline readings from 2015, when two oyster reefs were installed. The big question: Has water quality improved over the last decade?
