Congratulations to Megan Belli who received a positive referral! She went above and beyond to help a friend and to make sure MCHS was safe for her peers. She helped clean up a major drink spill in the hallway near the social studies office for about 5-10 minutes. She didn't need to clean, but she chose to do so to help. Way to go, Megan! #mchsproud

The Career and Technical Education (CTE) department took students to the Local 150 Operating Engineers Training Facility in Wilmington as part of National Apprenticeship Week. Students toured the training facility and gained insights into careers such as heavy machine operator, heavy machine technician, construction building inspector, and geothermal and water well drilling specialist. The students engaged in several hands-on learning experiences. It was a great visit and we appreciate the collaboration!
Check out the basketball team watching film on our new video board in the main gym at Central Campus!
