- Senior Walk Day - MCCSC has designated Wednesday, May 18th from 3:15 - 3:30 for Senior Walk Day. All graduating seniors have been invited to return to their MCCSC elementary school to walk the halls in your cap & gown. This is an exciting time for young students to celebrate you and a wonderful time for your former teachers to congratulate you and wish you well. Please consider car pooling and if you plan to visit Rogers/Binford, please plan to park across the street at the church so not to disrupt the parent pick up process. Seniors will not be able to leave North early to participate in this event. Be safe and remember.... It's Great to be a Cougar!

If you failed a class required for graduation you are strongly encouraged to take advantage of PLATO Bootcamp to earn your credits and walk at commencement. If you do not choose this option you must enroll in summer school. Students may walk at commencement only if you have 2 or less credits to earn. Please contact your counselor immediately if you plan to attend Plato Bootcamp. Please be sure to provide what course(s) you need to take during this window. You will not be able to continue a course started in Plato Bootcamp during summer school
