Congratulations to the MCHS Senior Class President, Gavin Brandani! Gavin will be attending The University of Mississippi this fall majoring in psychology with plans to go go pre-med to be a psychiatrist with a specialty in pediatrics. His favorite part of MCHS was how it feels like a community. "There are so many teachers, students, coaches that are so willing to work hard and be there for one another." His future is bright! #Classof2026
