Celebrating Student Achievements
This fall has been particularly remarkable for Moorhead High School (MHS). The football team achieved a historic milestone by competing in the state championship during its inaugural year in the 6A division. This accomplishment underscores the dedication and talent of both the student-athletes and their coaches.
In the arts, the MHS theater program is set to stage a production of “Frozen” this weekend. This event showcases the hard work and creativity of students, staff, and volunteers, highlighting the diverse talents within the school community.
Beyond sports and the arts, classrooms across the district continue to demonstrate academic growth. Innovative learning opportunities and expanding partnerships are bolstering educational offerings for all students. Lunak emphasized that these successes, along with many others, are a direct result of community support.
Looking to the Future
Lunak’s letter also reflected on the broader vision for the district. He expressed optimism not only for the remainder of the 2025-26 school year but for the next decade and beyond. The commitment and trust of the community create a foundation for ongoing progress, ensuring that every child in Moorhead has access to the tools necessary for success.
With every achievement, whether in academics, athletics, or the arts, the Moorhead community strengthens its commitment to fostering an environment where students can thrive. Lunak concluded his message by thanking the community for their unwavering trust and commitment, reinforcing the collaborative effort needed to build a brighter future for all students.
