Our faculty has been very engaged in the book study of Dr. Dweck's book MINDSET: The New Psychology of Success. Teachers are making connections from the book to their classrooms and beyond. AP Social Studies teacher Mrs. Nogueras shared, "...it's all about perspective and the research proves that in fact, attitude can potentially play a more significant role than aptitude."

On Friday, September 8th, MCHS Students and Staff loaded all the water donations collected for Hurricane Harvey Relief. Student Council, National Honor Society, Alton Junior Officers alongside MCHS administration and staff, worked together to load up the water donations that will be taken to hurricane victims. MCHS would like to thank everyone who donated to this very successful relief effort.
