Mr. Mustang – “The Bachelorette, the most dramatic Mr. Mustang ever!”
Ten seniors from Mundelein High School will compete for the title of Mr. Mustang during a virtual evening of entertainment over Zoom at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 6.
There is no admission fee this year. A link to the event will be emailed to MHS parents and students 24 hours prior to the event. Members of the community may request the link by calling the Main Office at (847) 949-2200 during the same 24-hour period.
The theme for the night is "The Bachelorette: The Most Dramatic Mr Mustang Ever." Earlier this year, the senior girls voted for their favorites to be contestants and emcees.
The evening's events will include an intro dance competition, talents, followed by a Q & A session. The talent acts include musicians, skits, and dog tricks. Senior girls will assist in the intro dances along with the Question & Answer Session.
The 10 contestants include Kyle Appelhans, Andrew Brizzell, Matthew Callas, Ethan Casler, Ray David, Roy Dumblauskas, Xavier Greene, Austin Knight, Dante Martinez, and Jeffrey Weiss. Serving as masters of ceremonies will be Jake Adams and Trey Baker.
The pool of 10 will eventually be narrowed to five. From those five the second and first runners-up, along with Mr. Mustang 2021, will be announced.
Illinois FAFSA Mandate:
Public Act 101-180 (effective 6/01/20) requires that, beginning with the 2020-2021 school year, public high school students must complete the FAFSA or, as eligible, the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid, as a prerequisite to receiving a high school diploma. A waiver provision basically allows a parent, guardian, or the student – if 18 or emancipated – to opt out for any reason.
Making FAFSA completion part of an expectation for high school graduation can increase the number of students who are aware of the resources available to help them afford education or training after high school. This information can also help some students decide to attempt college when they might not otherwise have done so, and it may help some students limit student loan debt and take a fuller course load to more quickly complete a degree or credential.
