Dr. Mandel’s Message
Dear Parents and Guardians, We are entering the eighth week of school so we are approaching the end of the first quarter. This marks an important time in the semester because habits that will carry students through the year are becoming set. Good habits, such as punctuality and good attendance, completing and turning-in homework, and studying using effective strategies are routine for many students. If your student is doing these things then please take time to recognize him or her. Research about praise suggests that when adults point to specific actions or characteristics, rather than offer non-specific generalized statements like "good job," the behavior being praised continues and is even strengthened. If your student would benefit from incorporating some of the good habits into daily life then this point in the semester is a good time to start. There is still plenty of time to positively influence the semester grade. I hope that you and your student have a great week. Have a great week, Dr. David Mandel, Principal Marana High School

Tiger Pride Athletic News TIGER PRIDE News The 3 C’s (Culture, Commitment, and Competitiveness) philosophy is echoing throughout Marana like a Tiger’s roar. Our student athletes preserve through the challenges by coming back with determination to improve on the court, course, field and pool for their fellow Tigers and as individuals. All three levels in football were successful against the Tempe Buffalos while ladies volleyball earned their first home W last week making them hungry for more. Our swimming Tigers had a great week by bringing home another win and several athletes earned provisional state times at their dual meet and at the Chandler Invitational. The men’s golf team competed in Phoenix this weekend with one golfer placing in the top six and another in the top sixteen. Our lady golfers earned a team W and qualifying scores for state.

CTE SPOTLIGHT MHS Autos At MHS we are very proud to offer a diverse array of CTE/JTED programs. The integration of these programs throughout our curriculum is just one of the many opportunities for students that our comprehensive high school provides. Throughout the year we will be sharing glimpses into the programs with you. Please take a look at our new Fire Science Program.
MHS AUTOS PROGRAM On September 13, 2015, Marana High School’s Pit Crew participated in a challenge sponsored by Andrada Poly Technical High School in Vail. The three-person teams had to rotate all four tires using hand tools and a floor jack. Marana Auto team took the competition with the fastest time and the MHS team members won individual tools for their accomplishment. This event is just one of the many events and competitions that MHS Auto students participate in during the school year. Marana High School Auto students have been the state Pit Crew Champions for the last two years. They also won the 2013 Auto Skills competition and earned 9th in the nation during a competition in Detroit, Michigan. If your student is interested in the automotive field, consider taking this JTED class which offers up to nine college credits and career post-secondary support.
