Alumni Visitation Policy

First, welcome home! We love seeing alumni and hearing about new adventures. However, please remember that from 8:35am-3:45pm on M, T, Th, F and from 9:55am-3:45pm on W, teachers are teaching, students are learning, and MC is a closed campus. In order for an alumni to visit a teacher during school hours you must contact the teacher at least 24 hours before the day of your visit. The teacher must then notify the receptionist of the date and beginning and end times of your visit. The receptionist must know of your intended visit in order for a visitors pass to be issued. Visitor passes are required to be on campus during school hours (8:35am-3:45pm M,T,TH,F and 9:55am-3:45pm W). The pass allows you to go to that teacher’s class only, you may not roam campus, especially during lunch. If you have not made prior arrangements before you arrive we will not interrupt the teacher by calling or emailing the teacher you wish to visit. Teachers are not available for drop in or surprise visits. Your former teachers love to hear from you and we will be happy to help you with a teacher’s e-mail address so you may arrange a visit for another time. Thank you for helping us to keep the focus on learning.

Teacher contact information is available on the MCHS web page.
