Pre-K Tuition Application Update

The Catawba County Schools Pre-K tuition-paying application will open at 12:00 a.m. on Monday, March 2.

The application release has been delayed as the district reviews a potential tuition cost adjustment, which requires Board of Education approval. Due to recent winter weather, the Board meeting needed for this action will take place later in February.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and will continue to share updates as they become available.

Principal’s Message
 

A man with a beard and bald head smiles at the camera.

Becoming the principal at Maiden High School has been one of the greatest opportunities of my life. I am blessed each and every day to see our students grow and succeed while the chance to help students through the struggles and challenges of life is just as rewarding. As the former principal at Maiden Middle School, I have had the privilege of knowing many of these students for several years and am watching them growing into young adults. At MHS I get to work with the very best staff and families . They are who make our school community a true family. 
Go Big Blue! 

 


Warm regards,
Brian Hefner
