Consider these questions and submit your thoughts to potentially have the opportunity to inspire students and guests for the MCHS 2022 graduation. If you are interested in being that senior, please submit your speech by 4 pm on Tuesday, May 10th. Please send your submission to natasha_habte@dpsnc.net and put “Be the Maverick” in the subject line of your email. I will respond "Received" to verify your submission.
