Principal's Weekly Message
Good afternoon Middle Creek High School families,
I hope everyone had a productive and enjoyable week and weekend thus far. Thank you to those of you that were able to join us for our Spring Meet the Teacher virtual event last Thursdsay. I hope this format provided you some flexibility, as it allowed for a bit of shorter night than our full Fall event. We will also have all staff back on-campus in a few weeks for our annual Curriculum Night, so you will have another opportunity for face time then as well!
As we head into the middle of February, below are some additional reminders and updates for your calendars. Thank you for your attention to these details.
Information & Reminders:
Upcoming Testing Dates:

Middle Creek High School will be administering the ACT WorkKeys exam to all seniors who are CTE concentrators on Tuesday, March 6th. A reminder that students will be participating in the ACT WorkKeys assessment in an online format and will need to bring their school-issued Chromebook for testing. Please see Mrs. Sumner in the media center if you need to borrow one or have any issues with the one you have now.

Scholarship Information for Seniors
Seniors, please report scholarship information to Student Services as you receive scholarship offers from colleges. Any academic, arts, athletic, etc. scholarship offers can be reported, even if you aren’t going to attend the school. Please email scholarship information to Ms. Morris in Student Services at jmorris@wcpss.net or stop by Student Services and we will make a copy of your offer letter.
