Mitchell High School

Hey Mitchell High School students! If you want to boost your skills, make friends, and get a head start on your future, consider joining a CTE CTSO! A CTSO (Career and Technical Student Organization) is all about hands-on learning in fields like business, health science, animal science, and more. You’ll have opportunities to go on trips, compete, attend conferences, and build leadership skills—all great for your resume and college applications. Plus, you'll learn skills that can lead to internships, and scholarships, and even help you explore future careers. It’s an awesome way to stand out and prepare for life after high school!

This summer, the Mitchell High School Future Business Leaders of America team consisting of Sophomore Etta Laws, Freshman Landrie Gentry and Senior Brinkley Hodshon competed in the Community Service Project event. They went up against 125 teams in Orlando, Florida, at the FBLA National Conference. Their presentation, personalities and year-long preparation efforts paid off, placing them in the final round, competing against the top 16 community service teams in the world! This accomplishment was monumental for these young ladies, for the MHS chapter, and for the entire community that banded together to assist Mr. Pressley in his COPD struggle and recovery. After such success at Nationals, these young ladies and the whole chapter are energized to start strong this school year through further community service efforts, assisting with as many Mitchell community needs as possible. To our business sponsors, community partners, volunteers, and friends of FBLA, thank you for such support each year as we prepare and send off MHS business leaders into a solid future.

We are excited about the upcoming school year and the changes and opportunities that it will bring for our students. As usual, kindergarten will have a staggered entry based on last name to help them become acclimated to school. Also, we will have a staggered entry based on grade level for Mitchell Elementary and Mitchell Middle this year. We hope this will be better for students to become familiar with the building and parents to become familiar with drop-off/pick-up procedures. Mitchell High School and Mayland Early College will have a regular schedule for all students beginning the first day of school. The document below outlines the schedule for the first week for each school. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CzDySFquyMGgmLCd_Q1mIu4HquVYViExFVqrQLLZVvE/edit?usp=sharing
