Out with the old: Workers are getting the Freshman (East) Campus ready for some new flooring and lockers.
#SummerConstruction #k12
Pardon our dust: Locker replacement started Tuesday at the Freshman Campus (formerly East). This is one of several projects in a busy summer that also includes some new flooring at the Freshman Campus and new art and photo labs, career center and choir room at the Upper Campus.
MCHS offices and facilities will be closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day. Have a wonderful weekend.
We wish our Warrior family a safe and happy summer!
