The musical, written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The show was originally written and staged in Chicago and is set in 1959 at fictional Rydell High School, which was based on Taft High School in Chicago and named after rock singer Bobby Rydell. The story follows working-class teenagers, known as Greasers, and their peers, as they navigate friendship, love, and teenage rebellion. Familiar songs include “Summer Nights,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “We Got Together,” and “Greased Lightning.”
We invite all new National Honor Society members and their families to the Induction Ceremony on Wednesday!

Mr. Lazarz and Mrs. Harbourn toured FLSmidth, the company that took over Excel, and met with several of the staff members. Thank you to Mark Bozarth and Augi Tudela, both MCHS graduates, for the tour and opportunity to learn more about the company. We even ran in to Connor Allen, a 2022 graduate, who is pursuing a career at FLSmidth.
MCHS is looking to partner with FLSmidth in the future for potential co-op opportunities for seniors. We are super excited to see how this unfolds and are looking forward to sharing these opportunities with students for the 2023-24 school year. As we work out the details, we want our students and Raider families to know we are always working on opportunities for students in all career paths! Stay tuned for more details!!
We were made aware of a threat against the school around midnight. There is a lot of inaccurate information out on social media regarding this matter. Please know that the school and our law enforcement agencies jumped into immediate action.
Law enforcement in Manito, Mason County, and Tazewell County have been involved and have investigated the claim. Law enforcement agencies have informed us that there is no credible evidence to support the accusations. However, we have asked the parents of the accused student to keep said student home today and tomorrow for their safety.
In addition, Tazewell County police department has provided us a large police presence today to offer additional safety and security to our students.

Mrs. Harbourn took 14 Raiders to ICC for the Agriculture, Diesel, and Horticulture showcase today.
Students had the opportunity to hear from a local business owner about the trials and tribulations of owning a business and the true success you can feel when you are living out your passion. Students also visited several vendors and discussed opportunities with each company.
We look forward to collaborating with more of these companies to ensure a smooth transition for our students looking to go into agriculture, diesel, and horticulture careers.
