We are so proud of these four Raiders!! They have been working hard in their welding classes at ICC Pekin Campus. These young men have represented MCHS well. Their instructor is very proud of their skills, and their willingness to learn more.
The welding program at ICC gives our students the opportunity to earn a production welder certificate through Illinois Central College by learning gas metal arc welding processes, and to earn credits toward a welding operator certificate. This opportunity is for seniors; current juniors- if you are interested, see Mrs. Harbourn!!!
Hello All,
1. Thursday (evening) and Friday (morning) we will hold parent/teacher conferences. Thursday will be a 1 hour early dismissal, and Friday there is no school for students. We're hoping for a record turn out this year! Please help us out with that goal.
2. I have attached a link to our district calendar on the website below.

Hello Raiders,
We've had quite a few questions surrounding the P-EBT program. The district doesn't have any control over the program. We've been directed to have people call 1.800.678.5465(LINK) or going to the website for Illinois Link Cardholder (www.link.illinois.gov). The link below takes you to an FAQ for additional information. I hope this helps.

Enjoy your weekend,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
Hello Raiders,
Two quick items:
1. Tomorrow, Friday, October 14th is 1/2 day early dismissal.
2. Summer P-EBT benefits for students enrolled in public school will be issued between October 11th and 21st, 2022. Summer 2022 P-EBT issuance will be $391 per eligible student. Because Midwest Central has the Community Eligibility Option all students enrolled last May will receive this benefit. This benefit is not something you or the district has applied for. It is a program we automatically qualify for based upon our participation in the National School Lunch Program. Benefits will be loaded to your existing P-EBT card.
Thank you,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
