Sophomores

Sophomores should continue to focus on their grades, striving to do the best that they can, and continuing their involvement in extracurricular activities. It's also important to begin the process of matching interests with possible college majors and future careers. 

Standardized Testing

All sophomores will be taking the Pre ACT test on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 here at MCCHS.  It is important for all of our students to be in attendance on this day and to take the testing seriously.  Results will assist greatly with future planning and will help students identify strengths and weaknesses early on in their high school career as they prepare to be "college ready".
