The Mustang Memo

August,24 2025 – First Edition | Morgan High School Parent Newsletter

From the Principal's Desk

Dear Mustang Families,

We’ve just wrapped up our second week of school, and the energy on campus continues to grow! Our Mustangs are settling into routines, and we’re already seeing a strong sense of school spirit and pride in our new community.

It’s been exciting to watch our students begin to build new traditions, connect with one another, and embrace what it means to be a Morgan Mustang. From classroom engagement to hallway interactions, the momentum is real—and we’re just getting started.

This week, we celebrated a major milestone with our first home volleyball game vs. Sumner, and our students and families packed the house with incredible energy and support. We also had the pleasure of cheering on our Mustang Golf team during their first match—what a proud moment for our athletes and coaches!

We’re looking forward to even more celebrations, starting with our first pep rally—“First Rodeo”—this Thursday. Let’s keep the spirit alive and continue building something special together.


Go Mustangs!


Warmly,
Brittney Wilhelm
Principal, Morgan High School
