Good afternoon Middle Creek High School families, 

We had a great week this week at The Creek. Next Monday, students will be off for the holiday and staff will have a teacher workday. We will welcome students back to the building Tuesday, and hopefully the weather will cooperate for a smooth 4 day week. 

Below are several updates and reminders to our families as February progresses.Thank you for your attention to these details.

Mattress Fundraiser on Sunday!

Are you in need of a new mattress? Do you want name brands like Helix, Purple, or Beauty Rest with prices lower than retail stores? The MCHS Chorus program is hosting our first annual mattress fundraiser this Sunday February 16th from noon to 5pm in the commons! We hope to see you there! 

 

ACT Test Prep for 11th graders: 

Today, Juniors received an email to their WCPSS email with information about FREE ACT Test Prep Modules that are now available to them.  All Juniors will take the ACT on March 12th here at MCHS.  This is a required test and FREE opportunity for them to take a College Admissions Test that can be used when applying to colleges in their senior year.  We hope that this test prep will be a great opportunity for them to prepare for The ACT.  Questions about this program can be directed to their school counselor.  Here are the directions that were shared with Juniors.

Information from Student Services: 

Course Registration for the 25-26 School Year

Students will pick their classes for next year beginning Friday, 2/14, in their second block class.  They will meet with their counselor to ask questions they have about their course selections and then input those selections into Power Schools.  Students will receive Course Selections sheets early this week so that they can look these over with their families prior to choosing their classes.  This information can also be found online at our Registration Website.  MCHS builds our schedule each year based on student selections during registration and we do not change schedules during the year except to increase rigor or correct sequencing errors, so it is important for students to thoughtfully choose their courses during this time. Please reach out to your student’s counselor with any questions.

 

 

Seniors- Class of 2025:

Cap and Gown Delivery 

Caps and Gowns will be delivered to school on February 28th during both lunches.  Seniors should ONLY come during their lunch to pick up their cap and gown.  See the flier linked here.  If you have not ordered a cap and gown yet, it is not too late to order - go to this link.  If you have questions, you can talk to Ms. Sullivan in the front office. 

 

Scholarship Reporting for the Class of 2025

We are excited to recognize Seniors who have been offered a scholarship at our Senior Awards Night this May.  Please email any scholarship offers to Mrs. Morris at jmorris@wcpss.net.  Scholarships can be academic, athletic, arts, or community-based and students do not need to attend the college in order for us to include that in our listing.  Last year’s class earned the largest total in MCHS history with over $18 million dollars and we want to see if we can repeat or even beat that total with the Class of 2025!
