Evan Goode (12th grade)

Manistique Middle High School and his parents, Allison Lowe and David Goode, are proud to recognize Evan Goode, a hardworking 12th-grade senior, as this week’s Student of the Week. A dedicated student-athlete and National Honor Society member, he stays active on the field, representing the Emeralds in football and baseball. Outside the classroom and athletics, he is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting and has a passion for cars of all kinds. Reflecting on his time in school, Evan expresses deep respect for Mr. Winkel and thanks him for consistently challenging him in his classes and in FST. Following graduation, he plans to attend Western Michigan University, where he will major in History.

 House System for students in grades 6 through 12:

Secondary school is a transformative time for young people. While academic growth is central to our mission, research and experience tell us that students achieve their best when they feel safe, valued, and connected. Inspired by successful educational models like the Ron Clark Academy, our new House System is designed to strengthen our school culture by directly integrating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and fostering a deep sense of belonging across all grade levels which strengthens and supports good mental health.

What is the House System?

Upon entering the school, every student and staff member will be sorted into one of several distinct Houses. Students will remain in their assigned House throughout their entire middle and high school journey. Rather than separating students strictly by grade level, each House will be an intermixed community of 6th through 12th graders. Within these smaller groups, students will engage in regular team-building activities, community service projects, friendly academic and characterbased competitions, and dedicated mentorship time.
