Congratulations to MHS senior Jeremy Murray who was awarded a four-year NROTC scholarship for $180,000. Jeremy plans on attending college and joining the Marine Corps! Out of 23,000 who start the application process, only 1,500 are awarded nationwide. From there, less than 300 students choose the option to be a Marine.
While he hasn’t made a final decision yet, Jeremy plans to attend the University of Minnesota or Duke University. Throughout his college career, he will attend training each summer in different areas across the country, attend officer candidate school in Virginia and graduate as second lieutenant. Congratulations for receiving such a well-deserved scholarship! #SpudPride

Moorhead High School art students are up to amazing things! In this sculpture class, students are working on a project where they research masks from different cultures. After learning about the meaning and functions, students create a mask that combines their personality traits and the cultures they researched. As you can guess… the results are amazing! #SpudPride
