Viking Donation Drive “Shielding our Animals” for our Local Animal Shelters, taking place October 27 – November 7 🐶🐱
Our goal is to Support the shelters in our community that care for animals in need. The project focuses on responsible pet ownership, compassion and care towards animals. The objective is to raise awareness within our school and our community.
The two shelters receiving the donations will be the SPCA and Mobile County Animal Shelter.
We’re collecting pet food, blankets, cleaning supplies, collars, leashes and toys to help make their work a little easier.
This event is being sponsored by Key Club, Wrestling team, The Art Club

Our last two days of mock interviews have been filled with excitement and growth!
We wrapped up an incredible week with nearly 350 students completing interviews—many for the very first time. Throughout the process, students gained valuable experience, learned important lessons, and showcased their confidence and professionalism.

A huge thank you to the 35+ volunteers who dedicated their time and expertise to help prepare our students for future career opportunities. Your commitment, guidance, and support make a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for all you do for our school and students.

This week’s activity focused on one of the students’ all-time favorites in Mrs. Touchstones Forensic Science class— learning the proper process for collecting, packaging, and documenting evidence. Forensic Science students did an incredible job investigating the case, carefully gathering and analyzing evidence to determine where Mr. Higginbotham met his demise.👏💀 #ForensicScience #VikingForensics #SkolVikes #HandsOnLearning

Our MGM JROTC cadets recently participated in a Raider competition held in Ocean Springs, MS. Congratulations to our students on a job well done.

MGM Multicultural Club members volunteered at the annual Greek Fest recently. Students had a great time helping out with various festival activities while experiencing the rich culture, traditions, and food that make this event so special. Opportunities like this allow our students to step outside the classroom, connect with people from different backgrounds, and gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse cultures that surround them. It’s important that our students learn about their community and recognize the valuable role they can play in making a difference every day.

🎓 Jag Day at the University of South Alabama! 🐾
Around 100 of our seniors spent the day experiencing college life at USA’s Jag Day! Students explored campus organizations, learned about different majors, and had plenty of fun along the way. They even got a taste of campus life by dining in the cafeteria and touring a residence hall. A huge thank you to the University of South Alabama staff for making this day so special for our students. We wrapped up the visit with a stop at Hancock Whitney Stadium — and of course, a photo op with the one and only South Paw! ❤️💙🐾🐾
