The Tri-County Conference (of which MJHS is a member) has made the decision to postpone 7th/8th grade girls volleyball, 7th/8th grade boys basketball and wrestling until at least, after the Winter Break. The conference will continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation and if it is deemed safe to return to play, we will implement abbreviated seasons.

The IHSA has made the following announcement. MHS will be meeting with the conference to come up with new schedules where they apply:
Return to Activities 1.0
