Mayfield has had a vibrant and memorable year, from a roaring‑’20s‑themed Homecoming—where students packed the gym for “A Night at Gatsby’s” and celebrated the crowning of Chimamaka Palmer and Kevin Guzik—to a historic playoff run by the Wildcat football team. Students and staff also embraced the opening of the new Innovation Center, a state‑of‑the‑art STEM hub where classes like CADD, Medical Technology, and Honors Biology now thrive. The school community gathered to honor four distinguished alumni—Jodi Kest, Edward Ferris, Chris Farinacci, and Mark Klang—whose stories of achievement and service inspired current students. As one student put it, “It was really cool to see people who graduated from Mayfield lead such successful lives.”

The newsletter also celebrates the people who shape Mayfield’s spirit—retiring football coach Larry Pinto, praised for “caring about every one of the kids on my team,” the dedicated donors who strengthen the scholarship program, and the many alumni who return for reunions, community events, and the ever‑popular Game Night fundraiser. Faculty retirees share updates from their post‑Mayfield lives, while reunion committees from classes spanning 1942 to 1976 keep traditions alive with tours, dinners, and gatherings at the new Alumni Pavilion. Through every story, the message is clear: Mayfield’s pride, generosity, and sense of connection continue to grow, carried forward by students, staff, and alumni who still call this community home.
