On #MinookaMonday, we'd like to feature math teacher, Mr. Jason Allen. He started at MCHS in 2007. He earned his bachelor's degree in actuarial science and master's degree in secondary education from the University of St. Francis. Mr. Allen enjoys the creative outlet afforded through the lesson-planning process and finds it rewarding to see the students grow and master the content. He lives in Minooka and married his wife on a mountain in Ireland. He loves to travel and has been to 30 different countries. He enjoys playing disc golf and coaches the school's team as well as the scholastic bowl team. And, he has never owned a cell phone! We are grateful to Mr. Allen's service to MCHS.
Best of luck to the Girls Volleyball Team who is headed to the sectional semifinals tonight at Pekin High School at 7 p.m.! #mchsproud
