Cartoon by Gabriel Malonzo A Message from Your Principal, Mr. Manning Hello MoHi Panthers! Here we are at the end of another exciting, eventful, and action- packed school year. It seems like yesterday we were participating at ROAR, getting our classes, books, and lockers last July. Before we knew it Winter Break was here and gone. We are now gearing up for our remaining projects, tests, finals, and summer vacation plans. Seniors are graduating, while freshman, sophomores, and juniors transition into new roles on campus. We have several teachers and staff members retiring after decades of serving students in and out of the classroom to be thankful for as well. Modesto High School has played a significant role in the lives of students, teachers and parents for close to 140 years. There is always some positive way for each and every student on campus to become involved. Panther Pride is alive and well and continues to grow stronger with each graduating class. I want to thank each student, teacher, and staff member on this campus for an outstanding, memorable, and productive year. I bid farewell and offer best wishes to all graduating and outgoing senior students, while I challenge all returning students to increase your participation, drive, and dedication to being a Modesto High School Panther. Enjoy and make the most of your summer because August 8 will be here before you know it.
