To our esteemed faculty and staff, your unwavering support and commitment to nurturing our students' potential is truly admirable. Your efforts lay the foundation for our collective success, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
Our parents and guardians play an integral role in shaping our students into the incredible individuals they are becoming. Your trust and partnership with us are invaluable, and we are thankful for your unwavering support.
As we gather with loved ones, let us cherish the moments of togetherness and reflect on the importance of kindness, empathy, and gratitude. May this Thanksgiving be a time of joy, warmth, and cherished memories for all.

Escape from the North Pole
From Dec. 4 - 13, the McHi Library will have a special Christmas-themed Escape Room that is titled "Escape from the North Pole!" Students will go to the library during their lunch period and will be locked inside a room, where they will have seven minutes to solve a number of puzzles related to Christmas and Santa Claus. If they succeed, they receive special prizes. To sign up one of the limited time slots, students should visit the library at any point between now and December 4.
