MTHS - The past week has been a series of goodbyes for our senior class. Today, members of the Class of 2024 share a goodbye with Trevor, one of our beloved MTHS custodians. Our custodial staff put in long hours to keep our buildings maintained and clean, but more importantly, they get to know the students and help to support them in their time at the high school. They are here early in the morning and late at night opening the building, cleaning, moving furniture, setting up for events and helping to keep us safe. To our current daytime custodians, Trevor, Dawn, Livingston and Will, thank you for all that you do for the students, staff and faculty at MTHS. Your efforts do not go unnoticed!

MTHS - For their last AP Statistics project, students randomly selected a topic. The topic was broad and students needed to find statistics within the topic of interest to them using research from databases and reliable sources. Additionally, all of the units covered in the AP curriculum (univariate and bivariate statistics, methods of data collection and types of bias, probability, sampling distributions and inferences of proportions, means, categorical data and linear regression) needed to be included in the presentation. The student presentations will be in the media center and judged by faculty members in the coming days! students display their final presentations in the media center

VIDEO! #MTHS Raku in-school field trip!. EARTH, AIR, FIRE, & WATER! ANCIENT POTTERS’ TECHNIQUE TURNS CHEMICAL REACTIONS INTO WORKS OF ART! See VIDEO & Learn more: https://www.montville.net/article/1635742 #EducateInspireEmpower!

From the kiln to the reduction chamber – During the Raku in-school field trip, art teacher Paul Moench and senior Kaden Kilmer-Setrakian removed the fired ceramic pieces from the kiln and placed them in the reduction chamber where the lack of oxygen created a chemical reaction that hardened the glazes into metallic finishes.
Montville Township High School Ceramics students Saanvi Yalamanchili and Morgan Soehnlein, both juniors, scrubbed the carbon from their works of art to reveal the metallic and carbon finishes achieved through the ancient potter's technique of Raku.
Victoria Gonzalez with her ceramic basket. Raku pieces that have been glazed emerge from reduction with a metallic look. Those without glaze will have a black matte finish. A combination of finishes is often used to create patterns and textures. The senior's basket has a shimmering metallic look intermingled with black matte finishes.

Burnt feathers and horse hair create a design on this unglazed ceramic vase.
When Frenchely Godet-Desmarais’ vase was removed from the kiln it was placed on a brick to cool. Immediately the senior applied horse hair to burn a pattern onto the surface of the clay. The smoldering process created a delicate and balanced design.
