On Tuesday, November 3, our community will vote on implementing this proposed sales tax for the modernization of Middlesex High School, built in 1949.
A comprehensive study has documented significant aging, safety, accessibility, code, and infrastructure needs at MHS.
If approved, the tax would be paid on taxable purchases by residents AND nonresidents, helping to address the urgent need while relieving some of the burden on property tax payers.

Reminder about home athletic events - students who wish to attend games must go home first and then return to MHS to buy a ticket and enter a game. MHS students do not need a parent/guardian with them, but middle and elementary school students can only enter with a parent/guardian.
