Good afternoon Middle Creek High School families,

              It was a great, short week here at The Creek. We thoroughly enjoyed having our incoming 9th grade families join our current families last night for our curriculum night.  It was a highly attended event and we hope it was helpful in getting students ready & excited for course registration which will begin in a few weeks. If you were unable to attend the event and/or need more information regarding the registration process please check out our MCHS Student Services website linked here.  We also enjoyed a wonderful Semester 1 A and AB Honor Roll breakfast this week and celebrated the academic accomplishments for over 900 students throughout the morning. Thank you for our wonderful PTSA and community members for sponsoring this event!

 

Below are some updates and reminders for next week. Thank you for your attention to these  details.
