Principal’s Update

October 18th, 2024.

Dear Mead High School Community,

It might have only been four-days, but Mead High School had another successful week. Our students and staff came back refreshed after a long weekend. Our choir put on a great show on Thursday. It was the first time we have been able to see our choir students show off their talents on stage. In sports, our volleyball team had two wins this week and football also had a big win on Thursday. Soccer played two tough games. Our softball team heads to Johnston tomorrow for the regional tournament with the goal of earning a spot at the state tournament. Cross Country has their regional race next Thursday in Broomfield. Good luck Mavs! Finally, our theatre and choir departments are busy prepping for their Kids Night Out fundraiser tonight and Trick or Treat Street event that happens next weekend. Both events are fundraising events that are open for the entire community. Be sure to visit those events and support our programs while enjoying a great time.

Our counselors were busy this week supporting students in various ways. First, they continued their work meeting with all of our 10th graders. In those individual student meetings, they discuss how things are going for them, their future plans, current credits, and what supports they need. They meetings have proved to be one of the many interventions we have in place designed to help our students succeed. Our counselors also worked closely with our seniors getting them ready with their college applications for Free Application Day. We had many students submit applications this week to various postsecondary learning institutions. It was a great start, and our counselors will continue to support our students in the application process. After this, they will transition to helping students with local scholarship applications.

Thank you for being a part of this strong community. #WeAreMead

Sincerely,

Brian Young

Mead High School
