September Menus

💪 Raider Nation, big things are happening at MCHS! Our inaugural Strength & Conditioning program is off to an incredible start, with 68 students enrolled. The class is offered both as an early-bird option and throughout the school day, giving students multiple opportunities to push themselves and grow stronger. What’s even more exciting? These students are showing up every day, putting in the work, and making a commitment not just to themselves, but also to their classmates and Raider athletic teams. Their dedication is already setting the tone for a stronger future at MCHS! We’re also proud to announce a new partnership with Gatorade as a Performance Partner, ensuring our athletes have the nutritional boost they need before and after class. It’s a great time to be a Raider — the future is looking strong! 🖤⚔️💥
