Students to Perform Annie Get your Gun Musical
The Midlothian High School fine arts students will perform a 1946 award-winning musical called 'Annie Get Your Gun' on February 2-4 at 7:00p.m. and February 5 at 2:00p.m. located in the MHS Auditorium. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online or on the night of the event. Senior citizens who have a Midlothian ISD Gold Card get in free.
"I love the classics and I think kids need to be exposed to them," Theater Arts teacher Susan Rouw said. "It's exciting when our musicals are fun for families and the community to enjoy."
Senior Katelyn Anderson will play the lead role of Annie Oakley, a sharpshooter from Ohio, and senior Matt McDonald will play the role of Frank Butler. Hit musical numbers from the show include "There's No Business Like Show Business" and "Anything You Can Do."

New Learning Management System at MHS
In previous years, Midlothian High School used Homework Online to communicate academic assignments to students and parents in their subjects. Starting this 2011-12 school year, MHS is implementing Blackboard, in place of Homework Online, to accomplish the same task, while reaching students in new ways... on their personal devices, connecting with students and parents more effectively.
Currently, when students and parents visit http://misd.blackboard.com (First-time users, download FAQ sheet [PDF]) they will see every course taught at MHS this year, instead of the seven classes in their schedule.
Once student schedule changes are complete, we will assign each student and/or parent a personal password and login for Blackboard. Once this occurs, students/parents will only have access to the seven classes in their current schedule.
MHS is excited about the possibilities Blackboard provides teachers and students related to learning. We feel that once you get accustomed to the new system, you too will see the academic benefits Blackboard can provide your student.
We appreciate your patience as we transition from Homework Online to Blackboard this school year.
