Update 4/3/2020:
Governor Holcomb has mandated that all Indiana students are to continue distance learning for the remainder of the school year and MCS will remain in compliance with this order.

Online presentations have been implemented and will continue for the rest of the school year. Contact us if you have not received communications from your teacher.
The school office will be open from 8:00am to 12:00pm Mondays through Fridays except for Friday, April 10, 2020 and Monday, April 13, 2020.
