Supporting our local community

Juniors and seniors are always happy to help our neighbors at Daily Bread. MCC is excited to once again provide this opportunity throughout the school year.

Beginning with the basics

Mr. McMullan's Guitar class just finished working on chords and now they are learning scales.

Magic of cyanotype

Digital Photography students researched and presented the history of developments and discoveries in photography. They engaged in one of the learned processes developed by Sir John Herschel in 1842, the cyanotype. Sir John Herschel was an astronomer that discovered an efficient way to make copies of his scientific notes. Students experimented with placement on the light-sensitive paper, exposure time in the sun, and density and shapes of objects.

In the science lab

Mrs. Zinone's AP Chemistry class recently completed a laboratory experiment in which they calculated the concentration of a solution in two different ways. The first used conductivity values of the solution, and the second used mass measurements of a precipitate formed by the reaction of the solution with another substance.
