Tomorrow night and Thursday night are Parent Teacher Conferences at MCHS from 4-8 PM. Our teachers want to see you and talk about your student's progress in their classes. You can email them if you have a specific time that you would like to meet with them and they can schedule you, or you can also just show up... either way, we hope you will come to the building! Each teacher you visit with will give you an entry ticket for our TV giveaway. We are giving away two 32 inch Amazon TVs so come get those tickets! We will also have pizza and salad in the cafeteria free for families if you don't have time to cook dinner. It is always one of the greatest nights of the year when we get to see our families in our building. We hope to see you tomorrow night at MCHS!

Hey Mustangs! Tomorrow kicks off the 2025 school year. We are excited to welcome you back and see you in the hallways again! Here are a few reminders as we get ready to head back to the high school. 1. First hour starts at 8:05, so students should be in the building by 8AM. Dismissal is at 3:30. 2. A free super snack will be offered to all students between 6th and 7th hours. They will be on carts throughout the school similar to how breakfast is offered. 3. Dress code- no half shirts, short shorts, leggings without a shirt long enough to cover your backside, or pajamas. 4. Your teachers have pencils, pens and paper for you. If they have a specific supply for their class they will let you know tomorrow but those will be rare. You do need a backpack. 5. Charge your Chromebook!! 6. Cellphones are only allowed between classes and at lunch. Put them away during class. 7. Lunch forms will come home with all students tomorrow. Get them turned in to see if you qualify for free or reduced lunches. The first seminar with all forms returned gets a pizza party! 8. Get involved in something. Try a sport, FFA, Drama, Band, E- Sports, Future Teachers Club, something!! School is more fun when you are involved! 9. Check your emails and check your schedule in Powerschool. Wednesday is the last day for schedule changes. 10. If you get lost, confused, scared, etc...come to the Main Office, the Counseling office or Room 303- we are here to help you!

They’re learning about: 🔬 Buoyancy: What makes things float or sink? 🛠️ Structural Integrity: How strong can a cardboard boat really be? 📏 Design and Testing: The importance of planning, prototyping, and refining. We can't wait to see the creativity and ingenuity our students bring to life! Stay tuned for updates and cheer them on as they set sail! 🌟🚢

Good evening Mustangs! It is that time of year when we begin looking ahead to next year. For those of you with Seniors this is a busy time. Reminder: Graduation is Friday, May 10 at 7 pm. There are quite a few events for Seniors at MCHS so our awesome Senior English Teachers have put together a sheet with all those important dates on it and will be sending it home with your Seniors in the next few days. For those of you with underclassmen we are wrapping up enrollment for next year's classes. Check with your student to make sure they have chosen the classes that they need to stay on track. On that topic we have also really been working with kids who are currently failing classes. Each Monday an F list comes out showing who is failing and therefore ineligible for activities and sports. We have been calling those kids in who have been on that list for multiple weeks and signing them up for tutoring. We have tutoring M-Th afterschool at MCHS. If you are not sure about your student's grade you can log into the parent portal and check them. If you do not have parent portal access please call our Counseling Office and ask them to set you up. If we work together we can make sure all of our kids are successful. Thank you so much and have a great evening!
