Congratulations to junior Makayla Maiberger who received a positive referral! Mrs. Tracey Adams nominated her because she is routinely thinking of others and doing what she can to help them or make them feel good. She shared copies with a friend who needed them in class and she attended a college visit presentation even though she had no intention of going to this college, but no other students attended. She’s kind-hearted and sensitive to others. Way to go, Makayla! #mchsproud

Let's win this and bring home the trophy to MCHS!
