Congratulations to MPHS Student of the Week, Ella Titus! Ella was nominated by Mrs. Seward, "She works as the TA in the Culinary Foundations class and then is a student in Culinary II. Last week the Culinary II class ran late and left the lab in a less than pristine state. She came in on Friday and totally cleaned the lab so it would be ready for an event being hosted there over the weekend. This was over and above what was expected, but it was SO appreciated!
