We are so proud of our Raider Owen. He applied and was accepted into the Construction Industry Work-Based Learning Program through PERFECT for fall of the 2024-25 school year.
Students who apply to be in this program must demonstrate leadership, academic excellence, professionalism, and consistency; Owen’s teachers and school counselor felt strongly that Owen possesses those characteristics and will represent MCHS well. The WBL Construction Program is designed to expose high school students to the different trades and to build and master skills to be successful in the construction field.
In the first semester, Owen will visit 12 different trades, earn OSHA, First Aid & CPR certificates, and learn skills related to different trades. In the second semester, Owen will be surveyed and placed with a contractor. He will shadow a project manager and a site supervisor. This is an excellent way to be exposed to the different trades.
Way to go Owen!!! We are proud of you.
The decision has been made to postpone tonight's HS track meet to May 6th due to both teams competing last night and the possibility of weather moving in.
Due to the possibility of weather moving in later today, the HS BB game at Delavan has been moved to a 4:00 start. There will be no JV game played. If the weather moves in faster that planned, we will make adjustments at that time.
The HS BB and SB games scheduled for tonight have been cancelled.
On Saturday the MCHS band and choir performed at IHSA Organizational contest. Both ensembles received Excellents. Congratulations students!
