Welcome to the SOLD OUT MOHIBA weekend at Morse! We look forward to the return of an in-person MOHIBA in our beautiful new Montgomery Theater. Our students have worked incredibly hard to make the 92nd annual MOHIBA a special event for all. Due to increased numbers of positive COVID-19 cases in our communities and school, Morse has recently been placed in "outbreak" status by the Maine CDC. Given this news, it is understandable that many people will not feel comfortable attending a live event. We encourage anyone who has reserved a ticket, and no longer would like to attend, to stay home and watch the performance on the RSU 1 YouTube channel at a later date. We will provide specifics on how to access this recording and when it will be available on the Morse website (mhs.rsu1.org). Please email Lauren Leeman-Hook, lleeman-hook@rsu1.org if you no longer wish to attend this in-person event. I ask that everyone who chooses to attend MOHIBA this weekend practice extra precautions, including the following: ➡ Everyone must wear a properly-fitting face covering at all times while inside Morse High School. Any non-compliant individuals will be asked to leave. ➡ Please arrive about 30 minutes before the show begins; ushers will be showing your party to your seat. We ask that you exercise patience with our volunteer ushers. ➡ We ask that everyone practice social distancing during the event. Please remain in your given seat during the show, unless you need to use the restroom. Congregation should only occur outside. ➡ Please do not bring outside food or drink into the Montgomery Theater. Our collective efforts to follow these precautions will allow us to honor our students’ preparation and hard work while keeping this a safe event to attend. Thank you, Eric Varney Principal

Mr. O'Leary invites the entire RSU1 community to William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Wednesday through Friday, October 27th through the 29th. Wednesday's performance is at 3pm, and Thursday and Friday's performances are at 6pm. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. We are performing outdoors, right in front of the new Morse High School. This is NOT your grandmother's Hamlet! Come one: come all! The show is only 75 minutes without intermission. We will see you in the theatre, outdoors, in less than two weeks!

Attention Morse Students: This Friday, 10/15/21, is the last day to drop a year-long or first-semester course without a record of the course posting to your transcript. Any dropped course after 10/15 will post as a withdrawal pass (WP) or a withdrawal fail (WF).

Since we do not have school on next Friday or Monday, we need to make the following adjustment to the schedule in order to avoid a full week without having some classes: Tuesday, October 12 will follow a Friday class schedule, rather than the normal Tuesday schedule. Thank you!
