Community Service

MTCHS students who aren’t involved in today’s SkillsUSA State Conference are spread all over the Treasure Valley doing community service!  These seniors spent the morning picking up trash by Locust Grove Road and around the campus, and cleaning up in the classrooms!
Students also helped clean up local parks, the Idaho Youth Ranch, and volunteered at The Idaho Veteran’s Home, Computers for Kids, and Touchmark Retirement Center.
