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!
