Dear MHS Community,
We had a fantastic week of learning and celebration at Mead High School. On Thursday, we celebrated our seniors’ final day of high school classes and sent them off in style with our tradition of counting down the final 10 seconds of their high school careers. It was a special moment for the Class of 2026.
AP testing has also been in full swing over the past two weeks. We are proud of our students for the hard work and dedication they have shown during their exams. We now look ahead to the final week of school for our freshmen, sophomores, and juniors.
Performing Arts
Over the past few weeks, our choir, band, and orchestra students completed outstanding spring concerts. Congratulations to all of the students and to our performing arts staff for another incredible year of music at Mead High School.
Athletics
Maverick athletics continues to build on a tremendous spring season. Several teams advanced to postseason competition. Additionally, we had over 50 spring athletes who have earned an academic state award as well as 26 senior athletes who have signed to continue their athletic career at the next level. Congratulations to:
- Girls Soccer and Girls Lacrosse on outstanding seasons and second-round playoff appearances.
- Girls Tennis, with more than 10 athletes qualifying for the regional tournament.
- Track & Field for qualifying 31 athletes to the state championships, a school record
State Track & Field competition will take place Thursday through Saturday. We wish all of our athletes the best as they compete at the highest level.
Additional postseason highlights include:
- Girls Golf is sending four athletes to the state tournament next week, another school first for MHS.
- Baseball qualifying for the regional tournament and competing against Discovery Canyon on Friday, May 15th at 10:00 a.m. in Grand Junction.
