We put our teachers to the test with a little Whitney Houston! 👀🎵 Some understood the assignment… and some definitely needed a lifeline! 😭😂

Happy Birthday to the BEST principal! 🥳🎉🖤💛

We wanted to fill her day with balloons… apparently every balloon EXCEPT a birthday balloon 😂🎈😭 But it’s the thought that counts, right?!

Wishing our amazing principal a birthday filled with love, laughter, and all the celebration she deserves! 🎂✨ Happy Birthday from your McMain family! 🐎🖤💛

30 years later, the legacy continues. 🔥

The McMain Class of 1996 celebrated their 30th anniversary in a way that means even more than a milestone, they came together to raise scholarship funds for two members of the Class of 2026. 👏

Congratulations to Skye, who will continue her journey at Southern University at New Orleans, and Six, who will be heading to LSU. 🎓

What started in the halls of McMain three decades ago is now helping open doors for the next generation. ✨

A special thank-you to the McMain Class of 1996 for celebrating 30 years by investing in the next generation of Mustangs. 🖤💛
