Junior Ring Ceremony - Class of 2012

Congratulations to the Class of 2012!  This year's ring ceremony was great.  It was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.  Thanks to Mr. Lutz, the class officers, and all the faculty, staff, parents and family members that took their time to come out and share this special event with our students!

Putting Out to Sail - Our Return from Spring Break!

I hope everyone had a magnificent Spring Break!  I, for sure, enjoyed every moment and soaked up as much family time as possible!  The highlight of my break was the "Behind the Seeds" tour at Epcot's The Land.  We spent about an hour and a half on a guided tour of Disney's agricultural work that mist of us see only from the boat tour.  Getting to see everything up close and to hear of how you can easily do a lot of what you see at home was absolutely fascinating.  If anyone is planning a trip to Disney in the near future I highly recommend it!  You can sign up right next to the desk by the entrance to Soarin'.  Here s a link to a post at Simply Hydroponics.com related to Epcot's tour.

This week we start back to what, I'm sure, will be whirlwind of activity.  Water polo practices, pending testing both in terms of FCAT and AP's are just around the corner and student registration continues.  Also, being as invitations for the coming school year went out before break, there will be many a phone call and email to return regarding next year's entries.  Just to get a jump on every one's calendar, Freshman Orientation has been scheduled for Saturday, May 7 from 9 AM to 12 noon.  There is always more to come!  Please check http://www.gomakos.com/ for more details of upcoming MAST events.

So Long to February and into March

Today we end February and head on into March!  Many things are happening at MAST this coming week including the FCAT Writing Exam for tenth graders on Tuesday, the Makos Water Polo teams have more matches, and Thursday is our final early release day of the year!

First, tomorrow is the FCAT Writing Exam.  Please make sure and check to know for sure you should be reporting. A list of the testing rooms and  relocation signs have been posted on the doors of the cabins around the Arctic Atrium and shared by teachers so you can be sure to be in the right place on time!

Tuesday the Makos also take on Coral Reef Senior in the pool.  Please come out and cheer on our teams just like last week!  I would love to see the bleachers full again as the 1-0 Lady Makos and the 2-1 Makos take a bite out of the Barracudas.

Finally, MAST Blast is right around the corner!  Next Friday is the day we go ahead and prepare ourselves for spring break and have a good time at the school wide carnival.  This year promises to be as active and enjoyable as ever! Get ready to get wet!

Mr. Mako is On!

Second Annual



And "the" question...





Great program at MAST tonight! The kids are great and the judges are amazing. Everyone is having a super time!

Mr. Mako 2011 was absolutely amazing.  Thank you to all who put in so much work and thanks to the judges for adding to the fun.  Particular kudos to all the young men who participated in the show.  You make us very proud and have demonstrated another facet of what it means to be at MAST! 

And Mr. Mako and Mr. Mini-Mako for 2011 are:
