Principally Speaking...
Greetings students, parents, and friends of Middletown High School.

Congratulations to our talented students who competed in the MHS “Poetry Out-Loud” contest
last week. The student winners are as follows; 1st Place Phoebe Jessen, 2nd Place Lily Morita, and
3rd Place Galilea Salazar. Phoebe Jessen will represent Middletown High School at the county
competition on February 1, 2025 at noon, at the Soper Reese Community Theater. Our students
are so amazingly talented!

Congratulations to Mia Hoogendoorn, our star Varsity Girls Basketball player who has scored
1360 points and counting, to become the all-time Middletown High School basketball points

We had a very successful showing for the ASVAB with approximately 80 students taking the test. We will be going over the results on February 6th.

Senior To Do List:

If you have courses in Edgenuity, GET THEM DONE! I check everyday, even weekends to see if assignments need to be unlocked and I am not seeing any. Please work on these in all your spare time. Time is running out!


Common App - complete and if I am giving you a recommendation, get me your brag sheet!

Login and create your FAFSA or CADAA account and create invites for parents. FAFSA and CADAA are open! This is the perfect time to get this done!




Finish up and research scholarship applications. There are links below for more scholarship opportunities.

Not going to college? No problem, work on your classes and get everything caught up so you graduate. Credit Recovery students GET GOING!

Come see me if you have questions or need help! Please do not hesitate! I am here to help all of you!

Financial Aid Information:

Anticipated date the FAFSA and CADAA ARE open. They are going through an initial process right now, trying to get rid of any bugs or problems that were encountered last year. If you are not going to fill out a FAFSA, I need you to sign an Opt Out Form by April 1st.
Students can create their account and invite contributors (parent/parents/guardians) to also create an account. This way when it opens, you will be ready to go. Students need their own personal email account, honestly, this should be set up in their Freshman year because we also use it for dual-enrollment sign-ups. Students should not use their MUSD email! 
Parents who file separate tax returns need separate accounts.

Student name needs to be an exact match to Social Security Card, also student school records need to be an exact match for Cal Grant.

Contributors without a Social Security number should apply very early, during that time there has historically not been a manual verification process.



The FAFSA and CADAA form actually help determine the different types of financial aid ply and pay the fee for the Common APP, only to find out that the University they were applying to did not charge an application fee. Do your research!

Gift Aid - grants and scholarships
Self-help Aid - Loans and student employment
Federal Work Study Programs - these are better than a job because academics always come first with these positions.

Please let me know if you are interested in a “Cash for College” night. I would like to hold it in the first week of December if there is interest.

FFA / Ag Field Trips...


Last weekend, students attended
the Made For Excellence Conference in Rohnert Park.
Butte ARC Fieldtrip photo collage
Butte College's ARC Exposure.
"Three students got to explore their interests in a welding career by attending Butte College's ARC Exposure. Leaders from Miller, Hobart Filler Metals, Smith Torches, and from industry came from Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and more to work one on one with the students to hone their skills and teach new techniques. This year students tig welded (gtaw), mig welded with flux core wire (fcaw), carbon arc gouged, and oxygen acetylene cut. Additionally PG&E demoed pipe welding and we toured Metalworks in Oroville, where they build large scale metal buildings. We left at 5:30 Tuesday morning and returned at 7 Wednesday evening it was a long and informative 2 days and to say they were tired is an understatement. Each student got a t shirt hat and pair of new welding gloves Austin won 2 hats and a face shield."
