McHenry Community High School

Introduction to Business students pitched their own nonprofit organizations. Students had to think like true executive directors and master the full business ecosystem by incorporating clear, compelling mission statements, sustainable funding sources, an efficient operational flow and the tax laws and transparency requirements that surround real-world nonprofits. Great job!

Thanks to everyone who made our Manufacturing, Trades and Industry Expo a succesful evening! MTI has led students to internships and careers. Some students are even employed part-time while they're still in high school after connecting with vendors at MTI. We also loved seeing children of all ages being fascinated by the machinery.

McHenry Community High School graduate Matt Mecher, Class of 2020, had a starring role in Tuesday's all-school assembly that featured the No Hate Tour, a BMX show with an anti-bullying message.
Mecher even got to perform a jump over McHenry High School principals Greg Eiserman and Sean Sterner, to the delight of our students. The BMX riders demonstrated a variety of stunts while sharing a message of kindness and inclusion, especially online. The No Hate Tour website includes resources such as how to deal with bullying and how to be an ally.

Amy Smulski Druml, MCHS 2026 Distinguished Graduate, visited both buildings Tuesday to talk to students about her own journey as a nurse who is now vice president and chief nursing executive for Northwestern Medicine’s McHenry and Woodstock hospitals.
Druml, a 1994 MCHS graduate, encouraged students interested in healthcare careers to take MCHS’ certified nursing assistant program since the skills and experience translates nicely into most healthcare careers.
