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.

Student Services will hold our annual Sophomore Family Meeting on April 22, 2024 at 6:00 pm in person at MCHS.

AP Testing Proctoring Help Needed
MCHS is in need of several parent volunteers on May 7, May 9, and May 14 where we are giving larger AP tests. Please visit the Sign Up Genius at this link to volunteer (just make sure it is not an exam your student is taking, as proctors cannot be related to examinees for the exam they are proctoring).
