Bear Hub Update

The Media Center, or, as it is now known, the Bear Hub has been in the process of being updated to be more inviting and appealing to our students.
Double click on the slide show below to see the before and after pictures of the MVHS Bear Hub!
New soft seating, custom made high top laptop tables, new flexible arrangement high top tables and colorful chairs, café tables around the windows, and new flexible arrangement tables and chairs in the “Collaborative Corner” have been a huge hit!
We have received many positive compliments from students and staff. Everyone is now enjoying the Bear Hub.
