A Newbie’s Guide to M-A Socials

Let’s face it—it feels impossible to keep up with everything happening at M-A. Thankfully, social media has blessed us with a collection of accounts that weave their updates into your daily scrolling. Whether you’re looking for game-day themes, event updates, or just some quality entertainment, these accounts have you covered.

1. @ma12thman

M-A 12th Man is the legendary football spirit squad and an iconic extension of the 11-player team. The account posts themes for football games, hype-up messages, and game reminders, making it a must-follow for all spirited M-A students. The private account isn’t as exclusive as it looks; slap a simple “mahs” in your bio, and you’re in! In basketball season, follow @ma6thman for similar updates.

2. @menloathertonleadership (and their extra accounts)

Leadership is the heart of school spirit, organizing dances, running the canned food drive, curating spirit weeks, and coordinating lunchtime events. Following the main account, you’ll get reminders for a variety of approaching events. If you want more specific updates, follow their sub-accounts, like @ma_danceproposals, @ma_intercultural_lship24, @hoodiesandgoodiesma, and @menloathertonrunway

3. @machronicle

The M-A Chronicle has a website (machronicle.com), a TikTok (@machronicle) account, and releases hard-copy magazines (The Mark) a few times a year. Beyond that, the Instagram account (@machronicle) is a great way to stay up to date with school news. With short glimpses into articles covering community news, the Chronicle’s Instagram features key information in a punchy, visual format.

4. @maclassof [graduation year]

Throughout your four years, our school aims to foster connections between students and their same-grade peers. Your class’s Instagram is the best way to stay in the loop about class president initiatives and grade-specific events.

5. @ma25decisions

This Chronicle-run Instagram account gives live updates regarding what seniors are planning to do after graduation. Seniors send baby pictures of themselves, their future destination, and their field of study.

6. Any classes, sports, or clubs you’re a part of!

Clubs and sports love showing off their projects and activities, so don’t forget to see if they have social media accounts. Some examples on Instagram are @maservicelearningcenter, @matoday2024, @menloathertondanceteam, @team776, @ma.carebears, @menloatherton_music, and @bearstagedrama.

7. Honorable mentions

If you’re here for laughs—and maybe to avoid being the unexpected subject of one of these posts—here are the accounts you should follow. Whether it’s bad parking jobs, ridiculous promposals, or anonymous ship posts, these accounts bring the chaos of high school life straight to your feed. Following accounts like @menloathertonships, @ma__promposals, @m.a.barstool, and @ma_badparkingjobs is not only entertaining, but it’s also a good way to not get caught off guard by an “Is this you?” text.
