AP testing continues today, and here we have Mr. Scott Tanaka's AP Calculus students getting ready to take the test and holding up "5"s for good luck for top scores!

To all the MCHS moms, grandmas, and mother figures, we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day! We hope you have the most special day ever.
We are excited to feature MCHS alumna Jen (Mueller) Davis '98 who is the Annual Giving & Alumni Relations Manager at Joliet Junior College. While at MCHS, she was a proud Minooka Arrowette. After receiving her master's degree in rhetoric and composition at SIU, she taught English at North Central and JJC. After 15 years, she transitioned into her role as a fundraiser where she gets to work with students and alumni in a new capacity. Jen resides in Shorewood, and believes the key to success is exactly what you’ve always been taught. You have to work hard, be willing to take risks, and never let anyone (even yourself) convince you that you aren’t worthy or capable of your dreams. #mchsproud 🧡🖤

Pre-Med students attended the FISH (Futures in Science and Healthcare) program at National University of Health Sciences to learn about health care careers such as Chiropractic Medicine, Naturopathic Medicine, Acupuncture, and Biomedical Science, engaged in an anatomy lecture and cadaver demonstration, and observe at body level and got to see 6 different cadavers being actively dissected by medical students during their lab as well as asked questions to deepen their understanding.
We are proud to share that the Girls Soccer Team partnered with Pink Heals to raise awareness and funds in support of their powerful mission dedicated to supporting women and their families.

Thank you for supporting our student-athletes as they grow not only as players, but as leaders and compassionate members of our community.
