By Azamaya A and Anabella V After months of hard work and lengthy rehearsals, the Wizard of Oz has hit the stage. The Wizard of Oz  is a worldwide known story–the 1939 movie being a significant part of cinema history. The musical was announced as MRHS’s winter performance during early October. Since then, anticipation grew steadily, especially within the cast members of the show. River S, a sophomore, performing as the Scarecrow, shared her experience of growing and understan

By Kamila A-F Around the MRHS campus, one can find a colorful poster promoting an opportunity to travel around Asia on most hallways. As someone who went on a European trip in June of 2025, I can tell you how accurate the poster is to the actual experience.  One of the main focuses of EF tours is to make it affordable for students to travel. I do think that is true, as it's set up to be monthly payments and the sooner you sign up for it, the less money you owe every month. Ho

By Vinny Dodero As the winter sports season  kicks off, an MRHS sport to keep an eye out on is the Boys Basketball team. With a new and experienced Head Coach in Byrom Gray, one very important Varsity starter returning, a very young team, and other pieces and parts moving around this is the sport to be around this winter.  As the 2024-2025 MRHS team went 11-12 with only a rotation consisting of 7 players, 1 being a freshman. It definitely was an experiment but ultimately almo

By Isabelle K. According to Wikipedia.com , unspoken or unwritten rules are behavioral expectations that aren’t directly stated but help naturally guide how people act within a group or society. People rarely think of the unspoken habits, ceremonies, and rules at MRHS yet every day students and staff follow a set of silent traditions, from which side to walk on in the hallway to classroom etiquette to the pressure to either participate in class or follow the crowd and quietly

By Kamila A-F Junior Metzli E. has dedicated her weekends to her part time job as a tattoo artist.  She always had an interest in art; you can find several sketches in her room as proof of that. However, with the push of her father’s support, she officially started tattooing around a year ago. Her shop is simply in her own home, some of her materials were purchased herself and some were given by her dad. This set up makes it convenient for her.  While a good handful of her cl

By Vinny D. After the Mustangs finished the 2025-2026 season, there were many ups and downs for the team. But after making history for Mountain Range there's many things to look at from this season. The Boys finished with a winning record of 6-4 and 3-2 in league play. This is the best record for the stangs since the 2013-2014 season. This was a really remarkable season and a statement season as Senior Alberto. Z says,” We wanted to put the Mountain Range on the map again and

By Lilah G.  As school gets busier, it’s easy to feel buried in homework and exams. But studying longer isn’t always the answer, sometimes you just need to study smarter. Breaking your study time into short, focused sessions can help your brain retain more. A lot of students use the “ Pomodoro Technique ” studying for 25 to 30 minutes with a quick break in between. It keeps things manageable and helps you stay focused without burning out. Active learning also makes a big diff

By Francesca C At Mountain Range High School, diversity isn’t just visible in the halls, it shapes every part of the community. But for many immigrant students, that diversity comes with challenges that reach far beyond language. Their experiences raise questions of fairness, identity, and what it really means to belong.  Moving to a new country isn’t just a fresh start, despite the many opportunities promised there are kicks to it. Having to learn completely new words, habit

By Anabella V. Burnout has been an ongoing and debilitating issue for students. Between internal responsibilities such as homework, projects, essays, chapters to study, and external activities like sports, clubs, jobs, and family, students cannot seem to keep up with overwhelming pressure and unattainable expectations that have been set for them. This seems to be a recurring concern for students, especially those in high school. Complaints of unrealistic standards are common.

The Mountain Range Student Government program role is familiar to the students within, but to students outside of the program, their role is more shrouded and unseen.  Student Government has their hands in most of the metaphorical pie that is the events at Mountain Range High School from school dances to the spirit days.
