    Magnet Leadership

    We give our students many opportunities to be a leader. We have events like Thanksgiving Canned Food Drives and Animal Shelter Projects. Our Student Council Members created a "Tech Team" which recharges, restocks, diagnoses and solves issues with our school computers. Also, the "Tech Team" takes really good care of our computer labs and carts.  The Magnet Writer's Group will be publishing newsletters during the 2020-2021 school year. Moreover, the Melvin Yearbook staff will work closely with the Yearbook Advisor. You are never to young to be a leader !
