Last month, 13 MCHS students participated in the McHenry County Honor Band (MCHB) hosted at Marengo Community High School. After passing a competitive audition in November, students were selected to become a part of a large ensemble consisting of the best band musicians from 13 McHenry County schools. Over the course of three days, students worked with eminent band composer Erika Svanoe from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. At the end of the event, MCHB gave a world premiere of a brand new piece by Dr. Svanoe entitled Ascendant written for the occasion of MCHB's 50th anniversary.

Dear Warrior Family,
Due to today’s forecasted winter storm, all after-school activities including athletic practices and competitions, are canceled. We will follow the typical early release Wednesday schedule.
Because there will be no after-school activities, there will be no activity buses today (Feb. 12). Students are expected to go home at dismissal time, which is 1:36 p.m at Freshman Campus and 1:46 p.m. at Upper Campus.
Have a safe evening.
The Black Student Union and jazz band celebrated Black History Month this morning! Jazz band played music by Black artists while Black Student Union members handed out bracelets. Stay tuned for a video of the jazz band!
