Good evening Middle Creek High School families, 

We had a great second week of school.  Thank you to all the families who came to last night's Meet the Teacher event.  Turn out was fantastic and we hope you got some valuable information and facetime with your student's teachers. 

 

Below are details and updates to keep you informed with some of the important things happening at The Creek.

The first test of the year is the PSAT/NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) and registration is currently open for students! Students in all grade levels are eligible to participate, however, taking the test as a Junior can qualify students for the National Merit Scholarship Program and other scholarships.

New visitor check-in system:

To continue to provide safe learning environments, all schools have upgraded their visitor check-in system to a district-wide Visitor Management System.
