Since 2008, students enrolled in AP English Language and Composition at MCHS have taken part in filming, directing, editing and producing documentary films based on semester-long research projects. This year was our 17th annual Film Festival, which included the submission of 40 different films. 20 of those films were chosen for screening at the Festival on March 21 in the Upper Campus auditorium. Topics included: the use of AI in schools, the influence of social media, later school start times and many more. Mr. Peter Kim, Mrs. Heidie Dunn, and Mrs. Brittany Achey hosted the event and over 120 MCHS juniors participated. #WarriorReady156
