Firefighters

Last night at the Board Meeting seven former MCHS Firefighting students received state and national certifications from the CTE Dept. at MCHS.   Firefighter Instructor Chuck Black did the honors.  The certificates for the Class of 21 students were delayed, so we brought them back this year to be recognized, along with this year's graduates!
