On 12/11/2018, MHS Principal Dr. Metz introduced four Students of Excellence to the Magnolia Rotary Club membership. Pictured above from left to right are: MHS Assistant Principal Mark Hibner, Joshua Lezaro, Caitlin Martinucci, Jessie Coker, Allyson Holder, and MHS Principal Dr. Mike Metz.
Dr. Metz told the group that he had the pleasure of introducing four of the most incredible students at MHS. He stated that they were not only incredible because of their outstanding grades, but also incredible because of the number of lives that they not only touch but really impact at MHS. He then asked each student to introduce themselves and let everyone know a little bit about themselves and what their plans were after they graduate.
