Midwest Central High School's Science Club is an extracurricular club with the purpose of exploring science related topics and venues throughout the local region.
For this school year, MCHS's Science Club has visited venues in Chicago like the Shedd Aquarium and Museum of Science & Industry. In addition, students participated in after school lab experiments like bacteria collections and smear techniques to grow bacteria cultures. For the remainder of the year, Science Club will perform local park cleanups around the township of Manito and even venture to St. Louis to check out the St. Louis Science Center and the St. Louis Zoo.

We know our Raiders are trying to make plans for the summer and have had some questions lately about the last day of school for the 2023-24 school year.
It is CURRENTLY May 30th. Please keep in mind that even though we have been blessed with wonderful weather lately, we may still need to use another emergency day before the end of the year and the last day could change.
The band and chorus students performed for the residents of The Lodge today in preparation for Solo & Ensemble Contest. Performing for others is a great way to help with nerves. Everyone did a great job!

Students in Señora Brodbeck's Spanish 2 class recently wrote their own four-act scripts about eating out in restaurants. They then shared their scripts with classmates who had to determine where everyone ate (from Avanti's to Nacho Mamas), what they had (from chicken alfredo to hairy—yes, hairy—chicken fingers), how the food was (you can imagine), and who paid the bill—if they paid it at all!
The National Honor Society of Midwest Central High School is hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive on Thursday, March 7, 2024. Donation hours will be from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the high school gym.
Walk-ins are always welcome. However, for the best donor experience, please make an appointment in advance by calling 309.968.6766 or by emailing Bree Kerley at kerley@midwestcentral.org. You may also make an appointment on the Blood Donor app, online at www.redcrossblood.org, or by using the QR code.
Making an appointment helps to ensure we have the appropriate number of Red Cross personnel to accommodate our donors and helps get you in, out, and on your way!
