SAT Seminar
After working with more than 60,000 students across the country over the last 15 years, Sycamore Learning Company designed this 6-hour seminar to help students prepare for the upcoming SAT, with specific strategies to maximize scoring on each section of these tests.
The cost for the seminar is only $125 and it includes an extensive study guide that has full-length practice tests with in-depth answer explanations for each question and 6 hours of in-class instruction.
The only materials needed for the seminar will be a calculator and two pencils. Enrollment may be limited, so please register as soon as possible at www.prepforthefuture.com
Not sure what you want to do after high school? Do you want to make sure what you want to do suits your strengths and weaknesses? If either of these questions relate to you, then you should take the ASVAB.
Senior Scholarship Opportunity - Scan the QR code to see if you qualify for this $2500 scholarship. Only two MCHS students can be submitted to KPRC for this scholarship.

REMINDER*** MCHS is a CLOSED CAMPUS (7:15-2:35)
Why: Safety of our campus
Students may NOT leave campus for lunch. During lunch, students are to report to their designated lunch room. Students who leave campus for lunch will be subject to disciplinary action as outlined in the Discipline Management Plan. Ordering food delivery is not permitted. Students should never open an exterior door or go outside to receive a food order or let others into the building. If a student needs a lunch during the school day, parents may drop food off in the main office and students can pick it up during their designated lunch time. We appreciate everyone’s support and cooperation to keep our building safe.
Mayde Creek Rams Boys Basketball Schedule
Attending Games and Events
With basketball season starting, we want to remind all of our Rams about our expectations for all fans in the gym.
Regardless of location, all fans are expected to represent MCHS well by cheering for our team in a positive way! All fans must also ensure they have a ride at the end of the game or event. Students that are not picked up after an event will be given one warning before being unable to attend events outside of school.
Microwaves are NOW available in both cafeterias for student use!
Attendance Procedures for Excused Absences and Checking a Student In/Out
When students miss school, they must bring a note to the attendance office upon their return to campus in order to have their absence excused. Absences can be excused with a parent note or doctors note. If you have questions, please contact the appropriate grade level Attendance Clerk.
