The recipients for the first annual MCHS Alumni Association Scholarship have been selected and will be announced at Senior Honors Night on May 11. The two $500 scholarships are made possible through our partnership with 31 North Banquets and Catering. 31 North will be adding a percentage of all events and catering from the MCHS family to next year's scholarship. Remember 31 North Banquets and Catering for your celebration needs and mention the Alumni Association Scholarship.
Happy Earth Day!
If you're looking for a way to celebrate, consider volunteering to help plant tree saplings with the MCHS Environmental Club.
As part of the Tree-Plenish event, club members are looking for help on April 30.
Email FreundKaley@dist156.org with questions.
Congratulations to MCHS senior Drake Rueckemann!
