Message from Ms. Prak:
Congratulations to our students, parents, and staff! Our school has been recognized as a 2021 California Distinguished School based on our exemplary student performance in 2019/20 and 2018/19. Only 8 schools in all of Contra Costa County received this recognition. It is an award that highlights the hard work and passion of our MCHS community. Let’s continue to work together to maintain a strong and rigorous learning environment for all students. Congratulations again to our school community. This is quite an honor.
