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.
