This week we are celebrating our School Resource Officers! Thank you for keeping MCHS safe!
Counselors are reminding seniors to fill out their FAFSA, apply to schools, make a final decision for next year and to fill out scholarships. They helped students out at lunches today and had a bit of fun dressing up for the occasion! Seniors, talk to your counselors for help!
Due to the current winter storm warning, all after school activities are canceled for today Thursday, Feb. 16. This includes all athletic practices, student activities, clubs, detentions and Learning Forward.
As a reminder, there is no school Friday and Monday.
Class of 2023 families:
It is not too late to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (@FAFSA).
Most 4-year, 2-year, and tech or trade schools accept financial aid.
Contact Mr. Menke with questions. Don't leave money on the table!

Congrats to Robotman for winning Battle of the Bands Friday night! All of our performers did an excellent job and our crowd brought a ton of energy! #WarriorReady156
#WritersWeek2023 had plenty of activities during AIM and lunches. Earlier this week students created "blackout poetry" where you take a random page of a book and cross out words with a sharpie to create a poem with the remainder of the words.
As a reminder, students who speak another language in addition to English will take ACCESS testing to measure language abilities starting Monday at Freshman Campus.
