All biology and honors biology classes had the opportunity this week to attend the field trip to the Channahon 4 Rivers Environmental Education Area to participate in Habitat Restoration by safely using various tools to remove invasive species in the forest. The invasive focused on this year was honeysuckle plants and some buckthorn trees. All the kids who participated during the trip enjoyed being outside contributing to something they are learning about in the classroom in our local community.
As our senior class exited the building on their last day of school yesterday, they were greeted with chalked sidewalks of well-wishes! Thank you, seniors, for the last four years and know that your legacy will forever remain at MCHS. We look forward to celebrating you at Graduation. 🧡🖤
The Anatomy senior had their last dissection of the year, the cow eye! The students thought it was neat, especially the blue reflective layer called the Tapetum in the back of the eye to help them see better in the dark, which is something humans do not have.
Congratulations to all of those seniors who received awards and scholarships at Senior Honors Night! It was a great evening recognizing our students and one of the final events of their high school career. We are so proud of all they've accomplished these last four years. #mchsproud

Congratulations to sophomores Sophia Harper and Allison Pilon who received a MCHS is You positive referral! Nominated by Mr. Brandon Wolfe, they both helped during a classroom medical emergency.
