The Goin’ Gold Band and Colorguard, Tiger Dolls, and Cheerleaders welcomed staff as they arrived and opened the morning with the National Anthem and the MPHS Fight Song, helping staff get in the Tiger spirit. Members of the MPISD Board of Trustees offered encouraging words of support. And MPISD Superintendent Judd Marshall gave the district an overview of new laws and policies affecting public education in the state of Texas.
