Thank you to our wonderful volunteers at the NMHS Chattanooga Food Bank Mobile Pantry that took place on 11/11/23. We had a total of 41 volunteers: NMHS students, a Woodlawn student, Dalton State students, and Aaron Phillips (MCS BOE Member). They were able to serve 766 households that consisted of 447 adults and 319 children. Thank you, Brandy Stone Beal and Jonathan Beal, for always serving this program!

🏫 Some of our dedicated principals enjoyed connecting with aspiring teachers at today's job fair hosted by Dalton State College. We're excited about the connections made and the potential for new talent to join our dynamic team. Mrs. Rich even found one of her past Timberwolves, Tucker Hemphill. We can't wait to welcome him back to MCS as an educator. Another story of student success from MCS.
If you or a certified teacher you know is interested in joining the MCS team, mark your calendar for our 2024 Job Fair, February 3rd, 9-12 at Woodlawn Elementary.
