On Friday Dr. Prickett sent faculty and staff on a "Goose Chase." This team building activity involved photo and video challenges on campus and around town. One of the many challenges was singing songs over the school intercom. Looks like they had a great time!
Ready for the day: MCHS social science educators gathered at Buddyz early Friday for a power breakfast before a full day of back-to-school preparation. #WarriorReady156
Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's has generously given MCHS a grant of $1,000! Their special events associate, Jennifer Tamburrino, kindly delivered the check to us Thursday morning. This will fund supplies for our new Adventure Education course.
Important Parking Info: All numbered spots in the south entrance at Upper Campus are assigned to students. Students, please only park in the spot number that was assigned to you. Staff, faculty, parents and guests please do not park in any numbered spots. Students, if you do not have a parking spot and tag you are not allowed to park on school grounds.
Teachers are back on campus! Dr. Prickett and Dr. McTague spoke to teachers and staff this morning. They are all preparing for our first day of school this Monday. We can't wait to see you, Warriors! #WarriorReady156
A special thank you to our 2014 West grad, Sarah Munts, who sent a large donation of coffee to MCHS staff this morning. Sarah is the manager of Rt. 120's Starbucks. Also thank you Crystal (front right) for bringing over the coffee! Stop by and see Sarah and her team sometime.
Doing some last minute back to school shopping? TI-84 calculators are required for all math classes. The rest of the supplies are up to the student's personal preference. Some may prefer to use their Chromebook more than a notebook. If there are any supplies needed for a specific class, the teacher will let the students know on the first day. Please see our Facebook page for calculator loan information.
It was wonderful to have students roaming the hallways again at Upper Campus' open house and material pickup. Students were able to open their lockers, pickup their books and walk around to see where their classes are going to be. Can't wait for the 16! #BacktoSchool
Great to see some friendly faces at the sophomore rally today! Sophomores had their own time slot to explore Upper Campus after receiving their schedules. Shoutout to our Connections Crew for showing the sophomores around!
Members of the MCHS eSports Club are wasting no time enjoying the super cool new computer science lab space and equipment in the Center for Science, Technology and Industry at Upper Campus.

Don't miss it!
Several people took advantage of the community tour and open house Saturday to get an inside look at the newly opened Center for Science, Technology and Industry. MCHS administrators explained the planning that went in to the new spaces.
Tours are planned for Aug. 21 and Oct. 2.
We loved seeing our freshmen and their families at the rallies yesterday! #StartWithSuccess
Incoming freshmen came into the newly renovated Freshman Campus (formerly East) for our two Freshman Rallies on Friday. Dr. Prickett and Mrs. Hobson helped welcome the new students. A special thanks to our helpful upper class-men who gave the tours today!
Warrior Ready: There was a steady flow of MCHS students Friday at the Upper Campus to pick up books, schedules and other materials in preparation for the first day on Aug. 16. VIP photographers were busy taking 2021-22 student photos.
Pickup events continue Monday.
After years of hard work planning and building, the Center for Science, Technology and Industry was officially dedicated in a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday night. We thank every individual who was involved in creating this new Center that will enhance our students' future!
Another reminder to come tour the new Center for Science, Technology and Industry this Saturday! No sign-up is required. Feel free to stop by between 10 a.m. and noon. If you can't make it this Saturday, you can join us on Aug. 21 or Oct. 2.
Enjoy these additional images of our adventurous PE teachers training on the new equipment for this year's new Adventure Education class. Students will learn skills and teamwork by participating in a variety of outdoor activities, such as climbing, outdoor cooking and more.
As the first day of school draws near, we're compiling helpful resources on the Back to School 2021 page on the website, www.dist156.org.
It has the school calendar, Dr. Prickett's welcome letter and more.
