Principal's Message

Welcome Back Aztecs,

With every new school year comes great hope and promise and this year is no exception. I am very excited and looking forward to the 2016-2017 school year! A lot of people have been working extremely hard to get everything in order to make the 16-17 school year a great one.

The beginning of a new school year also brings a lot of changes. This year, we will have 17 new/returning certificated staff members joining our team (other positions indicated in parentheses):

English- Debra Chan will be returning to MKHS. Danielle Acuna, Alexander Hill (Speech & Debate) and Ed Yankowsky (ASB, junior Class Council).
