Generous Contributors

THANK YOU to Herff Jones, Larry’s Giant Subs, Olive Garden and Publix for their generous donations and continued support to the MHS PTSA.  Without the continued support of these business partners, we could not recognize the Administration, Faculty, Staff and Volunteers  for all that they do to make Mandarin High School a success!
