At Mary G. Montgomery High School, we are proud to be Vikings—not just in name, but in the values we live by. We chose Viking V.A.L.O.R. as our school motto because it reflects both the bold spirit of the Viking heritage and the character we want to see in every student. Vikings were known for their courage, teamwork, and determination. They ventured into the unknown, relied on their crews, and faced challenges head-on. In the same way, we believe our students can face life’s challenges with strength, integrity, and a positive attitude. Viking V.A.L.O.R. is more than just words—it’s a roadmap for how we treat ourselves, each other, and our community. Our school is at the heart of a strong, supportive community, and these values guide us to be good teammates, helpful neighbors, and responsible leaders both inside and outside the classroom. Whether we are on the field, in the lab, or in the hallway, V.A.L.O.R. reminds us of who we are and what we stand for.
What V.A.L.O.R. Stands For
V – Venture
We encourage students to step outside their comfort zones, try new things, and take on challenges with confidence.
A – Accountability
We take responsibility for our actions, our words, and our commitments, and we work to make things right when we fall short.
L – Leadership
We inspire others by setting a good example, lending a hand, and doing what’s right—even when no one is watching.
O – Optimism
We believe in looking for solutions, staying positive, and lifting each other up during tough times.
R – Respect
We treat ourselves, others, and our school with kindness, dignity, and care, building trust and strong relationships.

Students were given unique “roles” ranging from Open Communicator to Conflict Creator, Dependable & Reliable to Not Willing to Adapt. They then worked in two “companies”:
🏭 Company A used AI-powered robots to help with production.
🏭 Company B relied solely on live employees.
The goal? Fill customer orders as quickly as possible while navigating different personalities, communication styles, and work habits.
After the simulation, we debriefed to talk about:
✅ How teamwork, communication, and adaptability can make or break a project
✅ The real-world impact of soft skills in any job
✅ How AI changes — but doesn’t replace — the need for people skills
💡 Our takeaway? Technology can speed things up, but soft skills are the real power tools in the workplace!
We would love to see you all come out and support the Vikings Tuesday, August 19th @ 5:30pm.

- Clear bookbags will be distributed during ADVISORY.
- Check Schoology/PowerSchool for ADVISORY teacher to know where to go (Lists will also be posted around campus)
- Doors will open at 6:50 am for students to find their ADVISORY classroom
- If you need help finding your classes throughout the day, look for our Lifeguards in their bright colored shirts, teachers, or administrators. We are all here for you.
- Let's make lunch go smoothly. Please bring your old school ID (middle school ID will also work). Otherwise, you will have to enter your student number or name.
- If you will ride the bus in the afternoon, please know the driver's name or the bus number so we can help you get on the right bus
- PLEASE BE PATIENT!!! The first week of school is when we see the largest number of students being dropped off. Plan accordingly, leave a little earlier, and be prepared for it to take longer than usual.
- There are no drop-offs allowed behind campus. The majority of our students park back there, and to limit the possibility of accidents, drop off is only permitted near the art building (the standalone building in front of campus) or in the Co-Op parking lot near the gym and auditorium.
What a great week we've had getting ready for students to return back to campus! This Wednesday, we had the opportunity to learn and collaborate as part of our Learning Launch 2025-2026. We cannot wait to see everyone Monday, August 11th! 🎉🎉 #perseverancepropelsprogress
