Mountain Valley High School

Falcon Fans the following is a message we received this morning (Friday): Out of an abundance of caution we will be suspending athletics and co-curricular activities as of today in RSU 10. At this point, with the additional positive Covid-19 cases in our communities and more testing results to come we need to reduce exposure. I am so sorry for our students who have been awesome with all of the pandemic requirements! We will re-evaluate this situation next Friday. Please stay safe and make good choices, Deb Alden Superintendent of Schools We understand how hard this is. Our kids have been fantastic and done everything we asked. We all need to continue to do our part so we can get back on the field. Wash your hands, wear a mask and practice social distancing! #FalconsFly
