Key Points • MCHS will operate as a Wall to Wall Academy, meaning all students will be engaged with Academies - think of it as having Majors and Minors • Advanced level academics are available through Honors, Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment, and International Baccalaureate courses and are applicable to all Academies • College and Career Academies are for ALL students - no matter their post-secondary plans. It’s not just for students who aren’t going to college or need to learn a trade! • Business, Industry, and Community support is critical to our success as students must gain “real world” experiences both in and out of the classroom.
