The flu season will be upon us soon. There may be confusion as to what the “flu” really means. Some may use the term to describe the common cold, vomiting and diarrhea (stomach bug), or most accurately, the viral respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus.
Infection with the influenza virus can lead to serious complications. The best protection against influenza is by getting your annual flu vaccination. Please contact your local pharmacy or health care provider to schedule a flu vaccination if you have not already done so.
We encourage our students, family members, and employees to monitor their health status and stay home and/or seek medical attention if feeling ill.
If your child is not feeling well, we ask that you follow the protocols below:
Practice proper hand hygiene:
Get better and stay well by:

Dear MHS Community,
The first quarter and a half have been amazingly successful here at MHS. Here are some brief highlights:
*1,444 College Applications Processed for 10/15 (or) 11/1 deadline (Early Action/Decision).
*Two MHS Teachers recognized by the Governor and NYS as Master Teachers (Ms. Stephens and Mr. Mahoney).
* MHS Counseling Team awarded 2018 NYS Outstanding Program, Practice, or Project Award (College Programming)
* Our students participated in multiple charitable events such as Thanksgiving Baskets, Toys for Tots, and the Snowflake Drive
* MHS Faculty kicked off #MHSREADS to model the importance of ongoing literacy
* 8 of our 9 Fall Varsity Teams were awarded Scholar Athlete Team Designations (75% of the team with a GPA of 90 or more)
* Coach DiSanto notched his 400th Section I win (Varsity wrestling)
*Approximately 800 students reached either honor roll or high honor roll
In a few short days we will take our Holiday Recess, and when we return in January our students and teachers will be in full force midterm and finals review. The speed of the school year always amazes me, even after all these years. During these few days, I cannot emphasize enough the importance for our students to take some time to relax and recharge to get ready for the challenges ahead, and to enjoy some time with their families and loved ones.
On behalf of the MHS Administration, Faculty and Staff, I wish you Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year.
Matthew Lawrence, Ed.D.
Principal - Mahopac High School

Mahopac Wrestling Coach Dennis DiSanto made Section 1 history by earning his 422nd career victory in a dual meet over Brewster on January 7th. Until then, the record of 421 victories was held by former Arlington coach Fred Perry, followed by Fox Lane’s now retired Joe Amuso, with 406 (per lohud Sports).
Along with this team and Mahopac families, DiSanto was supported by many of his former students from Somers where he also coached for 27 years.
DiSanto is in his 35th year of coaching and is set to retire at the end of this school year.
Mahopac matches up with Carmel at home Thursday, Jan. 10, at 4:30 p.m., where there will be a ceremony honoring DiSanto prior to the meet.
Mahopac High School senior, TJ McKee, broke the varsity boy’s hockey team school record for points with 158. He surpassed the old record of 151 held by Tyler Perrelle during the 2008-2009 season.
At the beginning of the season, Tim Donaghy, Mahopac Varsity Boy’s Hockey Coach, shared with his team the school’s hockey program record book.
“I made it a goal for myself to beat the record at the start of the season,” said McKee. McKee, who plays center, has played hockey since he was five years old.
“I am so proud of TJ. It’s been great to see him to continue to grow as a student athlete and accomplish his goal of setting a new school record,” said Donaghy.
The record was set along with Mahopac Varsity Hockey team’s victory at the Mohawk Holiday Tournament finishing 2-0 on December 29, 2018. Not only did McKee take the record but also fellow senior team mate, Logan MacDougall, goalie, won Most Valuable Player.
Fifty-three Mahopac High School seniors were inducted into the Science National Honor Society (SNHS) on November 27. In addition to have proven academic excellence in their science classes, these students are driven through the society’s mission to encourage and recognize scientific and intellectual thought; to advance students’ knowledge of classical and modern science; and to encourage students to participate in community service.
Under the direction of high school science teacher, Elizabeth Stephens, the seniors were officially inducted into the SNHS based on achieving the challenging criteria of:
The student-members who have earned probationary status will be eligible for induction this spring upon fulfilling:
The group is presently planning the 2019 STEAM Fair Project, on February 9, which engages middle school students with the hopes of generating interest in the sciences. This initiative also serves as a new mentoring program where high school students can guide middle school students through a STEAM project.
“We are proud to have such an impressive roster of Science National Honor Society inductees who are committed to advancing their knowledge of classical and modern science and participate in community service that encourages the pursuit of scientific knowledge,” said Dr. Matthew Lawrence, high school principal.
The motto inscribed in Latin on the SNHS shield translates: “Fortunate is one who understands the causes of things.” It is indeed fortunate to have these Mahopac students sharing their understanding of “the causes of things” with other students and the community.

At the end of each sports season, the NYSPHSAA honors those teams and individuals that excel in the classroom. Those student-athletes, teams, and schools work very hard throughout the year and deserve to be recognized for their academic success. To receive team recognition with a certificate, the team’s average GPA for 75% of the roster must be greater than or equal to 90.00.
