      Greetings Mustangs,

      As we embark on the 2024–2025 school year, I want to welcome you back to Mustang Nation! We are committed to preparing our students to be graduation ready by equipping them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and determination to thrive in the 21st Century. I look forward to working together with students, staff, parents, and the community to ensure our students reach their full potential.

      I am thrilled to return to McArthur High School to lead this amazing institution. As principal, I am proud to serve this community while honoring the legacy and traditions of McArthur High School. This school year, we will focus on effective teaching and learning, enhancing student experiences, and promoting social-emotional wellness.

      At McArthur High School, we will prepare our students to be college and career ready by making learning engaging, accessible, and applicable. As we welcome the incoming freshman class of 2028 and returning students, we will continue to offer a variety of pathways of excellence, from our Cambridge International AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) program to our award-winning CTACE programs. Students will have the opportunity to acquire 21st Century skills through these college and career-ready opportunities.

      We encourage all our students to participate in clubs and activities that promote the “whole” student approach. We also invite parents and community members to partner with us by monitoring their student’s academic progress and attendance, attending School Advisory Council meetings, joining our Parent-Teacher Association (PTSA), and volunteering at our school.

      I anticipate this year being amazing! I look forward to serving this community and ensuring every child has the opportunity to succeed. As a school community, I know we will accomplish remarkable things and exceed all expectations. As always, “It’s a Great Day to be a Mustang!” Here’s to a great 2024–2025 school year!

      Educationally Yours,

      Principal Mark Howard
