Today, MHS faculty kicked off 2026 focused on motivation and data for the second semester. They reflected on their realms of influence with students, on the what they can do to empower students, and how to stay self-motivated as an educator. They also examined the importance of data and the five key data points for MSD. It's going to be a great semester.
