Ms. Keppner invited our SRO, Ofc. Melendez to speak to her newcomer students during their government class to help them learn more about policing in the US. They learned about her role in our school, how she decided to become a police officer, and what their rights are when interacting with law enforcement. It was very informative, and they enjoyed getting to know Officer Melendez better! Next, they will be using what they learned to create brochures that can help other newcomers learn about the role of police in our community.
Due to an ongoing global Microsoft outage, our incoming and outgoing emails are delayed. Please call the Main Office for immediate assistance at 815-467-2557.
What a great weekend for Minooka Hockey! The team went 3-1 and finished it off with a 6-2 win over the D211 Chiefs to bring home the championship. Enzo Messineo and Luckas Nowak had big weekends with nine points each, while Emilee Mattison and Casimir Murawski were solid in net. The team played great defensively and really came together when it mattered most. Congratulations to all of our players and coaches!
Congratulations to six MCHS students on a wonderful performance at ILMEA this past weekend. They've put in countless hours to prepare and we are so proud of them! @minookahs_choir

Over the past two months, Fire Science I students immersed themselves in the core principles of fire behavior, building construction, and smoke reading. This foundational unit culminated in our inaugural "Fireology 101" project, a hands-on challenge where students transformed theory into practice. Working in teams, or "companies," students were given specific floor plans and construction parameters to build highly detailed model houses—complete with subfloors, framed walls, simulated insulation, individual rooms, and roof structures.
Each company was assigned a specific "ignition area" within their home and tasked with predicting the fire's flow path and thermal transfer. When the models were safely ignited, students stepped into real-world fireground roles—including Incident Commander, Support Officer, Operations Officer, Safety Officer, and Fire Investigator—to manage and execute specific tasks. Using thermal imaging cameras, they monitored real-time temperature shifts and documented the progression of the fire for their lab reports. This phenomenal, multi-tiered project successfully brought fire behavior and building construction to life. To celebrate their hard work and mastery of the material, every student earned a "Certificate of Achievement" as an official "Fireologist" alongside a custom "Fireology 101" decal!
