Mountain View Middle School

Message from Mr. Freeman

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving Break. December is here and we are in the home stretch of the first semester. Girls basketball is finishing up with a flurry of home games. Boys basketball tryouts are on 12/3 and 12/4 and they will begin their games after the winter break. Our 8th grade students will be visiting FHS to take the Explore Test, which is a test that the high school uses to help determine placement in freshman classes. And speaking of high school, we are starting to ramp up our plans for graduation and the end of the year activities because it will be here before you know it. Keep up the great work MVMS and GO PANTHERS!
