Congratulations to Christian Kennon for receiving a MCHS is You positive referral! Nominated by Mr. Tripp Burton, when another student fainted in the hallway during a passing period, Christian caught her, cleared an area for her, and called for help immediately. He stayed with her until the nurse arrived, and he knew she was going to be okay. What a considerate student! #mchsproud

Students in Ms. Kaminski's AP Computer Science Principles learned about the importance of writing clear and specific code by practicing with Lego builds. Each student wrote step-by-step instructions for building a tower and traded it with a classmate to see if they could replicate the build using only those written instructions. Students were able to see how vague or unclear instructions can lead to errors similarly to how a computer can only follow exactly what is written in their programming.
All are welcome to join us on Friday, November 7 at 9 a.m. at the District Office at this informal get-together to enjoy a cup of coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Robert Schiffbauer. Connect with us and chat about topics important to you. Please RSVP to Aubrey Knight, Director of Community Relations, at (815) 521-4112 or aknight@mchs.net.
