Junior Highlander Volleyball Interest Survey

In November, the MTSD Board of Education approved the addition of two new middle school Business Education electives, expanding elective opportunities for students beginning next school year. This exciting change is part of a long-term effort to strengthen aligned 7–12 pathways and follows the retirement of Mrs. Karen Ogier, whose dedicated service created a natural moment to reimagine our elective offerings for the future.

The new business courses are modern, hands-on, and project-based, helping students build skills such as leadership, communication, financial literacy, problem-solving, entrepreneurship, and digital creation while exploring career interests. This shift creates a pathway that mirrors other middle school electives and prepares students for success in high school and beyond. Importantly, the 6th grade Personal Finance elective will continue as part of the wheel and will now be taught by our new Business Education teacher, ensuring students still gain critical money-management skills early on.

The Merit Award is an award given at the end of the year to students who have taken the opportunity to go above and beyond the academics that are offered at Lake Shore and who have taken steps to give back to the school and community. Students in all grade levels can earn the Merit Award. 8th grade students will not only be announced at Promotion for earning this award but will also be given a prize at the end of the year if they completed the 6th, 7th and 8th grade Merit Award.
