At the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year, Melissa High School students found that they would be a part of a big change called Mega Lunch. Students discovered that they would have an hour to socialize or get work done during this time, but with this came 50 minute detentions to those who were assigned them. A week before Mega Lunch started on September 26th, Principal Wooten held meetings with each grade level separately by gender. During these meetings Mr. Wooten explained the rules and regulations for Mega Lunch, in which the 50 minute detentions were brought up. He explained that the detentions would be held during the first 50 minutes of Mega Lunch in the auxiliary gym and that students would be given the last 10 minutes to eat. Students
