Principal's Weekly Message
Good afternoon Middle Creek High School families,
It was a great week here at The Creek. Spring is officially here and I hope you are all headed into a weekend of enjoying the Spring weather and some “March Madness”. Below are some updates and reminders for next week. It is our final week of Quarter 3 as well as the last week before Spring Break. We hope are students are able to finish strong!
Thank you for your attention to these details.
Information & Reminders:
Outdoor Eating options at lunch:
Starting next week, we are excited to open an outdoor seating option for students during lunch. Through a collaborative effort between the MCHS PTSA and Mr. Juris’ Construction Core classes, we now have several picnic tables and the perfect spot to make this possible! What this means for teachers is that lunch duty locations will change a little bit to accommodate this new seating. Students can sign up via a google form on the Student Hub on our website→ in the Food and Drink section. I have linked the Hub here, and we have been advertising it during the announcements this week. We look forward to our students enjoying this option and hope to add more tables in the future.
Yearbooks and Yearbook Ads!
ATTENTION FAMILIES: Order your yearbooks now while they are still available! Go to yearbookordercenter.com and enter the code 10474. From there, following the instructions to purchase a yearbook and/or submit a senior ad.
*** Parents of seniors have until March 23 to design and submit their senior spotlight ads.

Rising Senior Schedule Information
Mid-Year Graduation: Rising seniors who would like to graduate one semester early in January 2026, should return the Mid-Year Graduation form to Student Services by Spring Break. Counselors will reach out to parents to verify their signature and agreement with this request.
Early Release/Late Arrival: Rising seniors who are interested in Early Release/Late Arrival need to complete the form with all signatures and return to Student Services by March 28th. Due to changes in college admission policy around senior schedule changes, Early Release/Late Arrival will be adjusted within the first 5 days of the fall semester next school year, for both semesters. No changes will be made in the spring semester next school year. Decisions regarding this type of schedule change need to be discussed and determined now. The only way to guarantee Early Release/Late Arrival for 25-26 School Year is to submit the form by Spring Break.
