Saturday night, the High School basketball team hosted their first Coaches vs. Cancer game. Olympia made the drive over in the cold temperatures to team up with MCHS for this event. T shirts were purchased, gondolas we devoured, and donations were taken. The team will be presenting the proceeds to a young girl in the community who is going through treatments. It was such a great night to be a Raider.


Saturday night, the High School basketball team hosted an alumni game featuring 23 former players, a former manager, and two former coaches. The white team ended up winning by one point. It was a very fun and competitive game in front of a packed house!




MCHS would like to send a post of appreciation to the Tazewell County Education for Employment Office for providing the financial backing to purchase two new Miller Multimatic Welders as well as a brand new Table Saw.
These pieces of equipment are upgrades to our existing equipment, and will provide more opportunities for students to do hands on work in both our metal and wood shops.

Mr. Hyde’s freshmen English 1 classes began their study of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet this week. While Shakespeare can be challenging, students enjoy acting out scenes from the play to gain better understanding. Here, students are acting out the marketplace brawl from Act 1, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet. After biting his thumb, Sampson (Jackson Smith) and Gregory (Hailey Thomas) duel with Abram (Houston Butler) as Benvolio (Wolfgang Waibel) tries to restore the peace.
