Area eighth-graders invited to check out MCHS offerings
Michigan City – Eighth-grade students from Michigan City and beyond are invited to attend Michigan City High School’s annual Wolf Pack Roundup. This informational session will be held on Thursday, December 2 at 5:00 p.m. at Michigan City High School, 8466 W. Pahs Road.
“Wolf Pack Roundup is an opportunity for you and your family to take a tour, meet school counselors and administrators, and hear more about classes, extracurriculars, dual credit, and much more,” said Sarah Hendricks, who serves as MCHS Co-Principal with Kyle Dean.
“This event will also feature an Athletics Open House so that students can meet coaches and learn more about playing sports in high school,” she said.
The Roundup is open to families of all current eighth-grade students – those who attend Michigan City Area Schools, as well as students who may be attending private or charter schools, or homeschooled students.
Prospective MCHS students can learn about the “four schools within a school” including the Honors College, Early College, Core Academy, and P.A.C.K. Academy, which allow students to follow a high school path suited to their individual needs.
Students and their parents can also learn about how MCHS is looking ahead to post-secondary years through the “Michigan City Promise” scholarship, dual credits, and AP credits.
“At Michigan City High School, the goal for our students is ‘College and Career Ready,’” Dean said. “So whether students are looking to enter the workforce immediately following graduation, attend a college or university, or enlist in the military, we have educational programs to meet their needs.”
