Hall of Fame

"A Night Out" Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Around the end of each school year, the MMHS Foundation hosts "A Night Out" MMHS Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. This evening is dedicated to inducting and recognizing Matador Alumni and faculty/staff who have made significant contributions not only to the school, but also as adults in their careers and communities. It is a fun-filled evening with an exciting program, dinner and fundraising to support the school, its programs, and student scholarships.
