Junior High and High School
Magnolia Heights School’s primary mission is to prepare students for college. Therefore, the curriculum is challenging and broad, emphasizing a liberal arts education. The school year is divided into four nine-week reporting periods. Classes meet on a traditional seven period per day schedule.
Junior High Students attend classes in the newly renovated south wing of the secondary building. Their classrooms include a technology center and a science lab. Clubs and activities for Junior High include Jr. High Student Council, FCA, Junior Beta Club, Junior Optimist, Chiefs for Christ, and Drama.
In preparation for the ACT, seventh and eighth grade students take the Explore Standardized Test and ninth grade students take the PLAN Standardized test. MHS Junior High students score above the state and national averages on both of these tests.
Beginning during the junior high years, students participate in a yearly science fair, and many advance to the MPSEA District and State levels.
High School Students attend classes in the north wing of the secondary building. Their classes include a technology center, a newly renovated science lab, and a virtual technology classroom. Some of the clubs and activities for high school students include FCA, Student Council, Chiefs for Christ, Yearbook and Newspaper Staff, National Honor Society, Quiz Bowl, Interact Club, and Drama.
Over the last thirty-six years, 99% of our graduates have attended college. Well over half have received scholarships. ACT scores are above state and national averages.
Seniors meeting requirements may choose to participate in the Dual Enrollment Program through Northwest Mississippi Community College. Students receive both high school and college credits at no extra cost. Dual enrollment is currently offered in English Composition I & II and American History I & II.
Yearly, in the interest of student safety, drug tests will be randomly administered to students in grades 9-12.
