Attention Alumni: We will be hosting the 2019 Mesick High School Basketball Alumni Game on Saturday, January 19th at the High School. We will continue with the tradition of having a guys and girls game. We will have the ladies start at 5:00 pm with the guys to follow. The cost will be $20 and that will include a T Shirt with the remaining funds being put towards the boys and girls programs. Please share this with anyone who may be interested in playing! If you have any questions or woud like to sign up, please contact Coach Duby in the Athletic Department! Also, the girls basketball teams will be playing tonight at MCC at 6:00 pm and the boys will be playing tomorrow night in Walkerville at 6:00 pm. Have a great week!
We are seeking interest from all stakeholders regarding starting school before Labor Day. The ISD has again received a three-year waiver for all schools within the WMISD to begin before Labor Day. It appears that enough schools in the ISD will be starting before Labor Day which will open the CTC and WMISD before Labor Day. This is not stating that Mesick Schools will be starting before Labor Day nor does this mean that we will not. This is purely information gathering. Regardless of the start date on the next school year calendar, Mesick students will still be required to attend school for 180 days and have at least 1,098 clock hours as required by state law. Please complete the survey that is attached to the link below. You may have to cut and paste the link into your browser.
