A BIG thank you to all the MHS students, staff, alumni and families that supported the John Panciocco Softball Tournament on October 8th. It was a beautiful fall day filled with friendly competition, lots of laughs and great memories! The Alumni Association raised over $7,000 to go towards future scholarships given out to MHS seniors in John Panciocco’s memory.
Congrats to the varsity baseball team on their back to back JP tourney championship wins!
Excited to see everyone next year! #JPtourney2023 #October72023
