On #MinookaMonday, we'd like to feature our science department chair, Mr. Chris Erickson. He originally joined the MCHS family in 2000, and after spending a decade in another district, he returned "home" in 2020. He earned his bachelor's in physics from ISU and master's degree in educational leadership from GSU. Mr. Erickson enjoys working with an amazing team of science teachers who are focused on providing meaningful experiences every day to their students. He lives in Channahon with his wife Michelle (an English teacher at MCHS), and three kids, two of whom are current students. He is a fan of the Cubs, Bears, and the WWE!
