🎴 Regular Season Match

📌 907 Locust St. Delavan, IL 61734
Great things are happening in our classrooms as Raider students continue to learn through hands-on experiences, labs, and real-world problem solving!
In Chemistry, students are strengthening their understanding of chemical equations, phase changes, and the Law of Conservation of Mass through lab investigations. They are now applying those concepts to balancing equations as they prepare to begin their Stoichiometry unit.
Our Environmental Science students are digging into the study of soil! They are analyzing soil components and properties and connecting them to real environmental processes such as percolation, infiltration, porosity, erodibility, and leaching. Students have also been observing different types of water erosion, including splash, rill, sheet, and gully erosion.
In Physics, students are investigating simple harmonic motion using pendulum and spring-mass systems. By utilizing Vernier technology, they are collecting and analyzing real data to better understand motion and periodic behavior.
Meanwhile, in Mr. Servis’ Physical Science class, students wrapped up their unit on waves and sound by constructing cup-and-string telephone systems. Through experimentation, they tested how vibrations travel through materials and even worked to successfully make a “phone call” around corners!
We are proud of the curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking our Raiders demonstrate every day. Hands-on learning continues to bring science to life at MCHS!

Students virtually explored different majors across the three campuses of Illinois Central College before spending the afternoon with the Theater Department. They had the opportunity to engage with the department chair and current students, learning firsthand about the arts at ICC and how involved students can be on campus.
We discussed tuition waivers available to students who participate in shows, choir, and band, as well as how to earn an associate degree and successfully transfer to a four-year university. Our students jumped right in with group acting activities, learning more about themselves and each other through hands-on experiences.
The day ended with a live performance of Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare. The ICC student performers were phenomenal and took time after the show to connect with our students, answer questions, and share their college journeys.
We have several students who are already super excited to begin their college careers at ICC.

Notes - Grades are based on the 2026–27 school year. Keep an eye out... more info to come.
Noah graduated from MCHS in 2014 and is currently an insurance professional in town with Country Financial. He completed his associate degree in Agricultural Business at ICC before continuing his education at Western Illinois University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Science with a minor in Agricultural Economics, graduating in 2018.
After college, Noah moved to North Dakota for a year to work in soybean seed production, though the cold quickly convinced him it wasn’t the right fit. He then relocated to Pleasant Hill, Illinois, where he worked for Nutrient Ag Solutions in seed, chemical, and fertilizer sales. In 2023, he had the opportunity to return home and begin his career with Country Financial.
In his free time, Noah enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family and his three-legged dog.
