🏫 Some of our dedicated principals enjoyed connecting with aspiring teachers at today's job fair hosted by Dalton State College. We're excited about the connections made and the potential for new talent to join our dynamic team. Mrs. Rich even found one of her past Timberwolves, Tucker Hemphill. We can't wait to welcome him back to MCS as an educator. Another story of student success from MCS.
If you or a certified teacher you know is interested in joining the MCS team, mark your calendar for our 2024 Job Fair, February 3rd, 9-12 at Woodlawn Elementary.

Happy School Psychologist Week!
This week, we're taking the time to celebrate and thank our fantastic school psychologists for their incredible dedication to the well-being and success of our students. School psychologists play a vital role in our school community, providing academic support and testing, consultation with teachers, parents, and other school staff, guidance, and advocacy for students to promote academic achievement. Thank you for all that you do!
