Attention all students who would like to join the 2026 Fall Play Crew. This year's production of A Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane will require lots of help and a strong crew.

If you cannot attend, please see Mrs. Bamonte ASAP!  

 

Today we’re wearing teal and purple in recognition of Suicide Prevention Month! TROUPE would like to say thank you to everyone who joined in and is helping raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental health. Your support is a simple way to show others that they matter and that our school cares. If you or someone you know needs help, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Morris Speech had quite the 2025-26 season. We were the I8 Conference Champs, IHSA Regional and Sectional Champs, and took 13 events to State. But Morris Speech is about way more than trophies. You’ll build confidence, make new friends, perform, develop leadership skills, and, most importantly, find your voice. All students are invited to come to our first Speech Team meeting of the year TODAY, right after school in Mrs. G's room. 141. Whether you're already a performer, someone who loves to argue, a natural storyteller, or someone who is terrified of public speaking but wants to get better, there's a place for you on Morris Speech.  

 

Attention Juniors:  The PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) will be given on the morning of Wednesday, October 28th in the Wrestling Gym to Juniors who want to participate.  This test is a preliminary and qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship.
