Dragon Visits

MTCHS has been visiting West Ada middle schools during lunch period for the last few weeks.  Mrs. Green, Mr. Taylor and student volunteers have been answering questions and talking to interested students about our school and the upcoming Tech-X-Perience.

We appreciate all of our student volunteers who took time from their classes in order to be ambassadors for MTCHS.  Not only did they get to play with drones and robots, they have also been excellent representatives of Meridian Technical Charter High School!

Tech-X-Perience is next Thursday, November 9, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.  This free event is the perfect time to visit our school, meet teachers and administration, get questions answered, and try a tech activity!  Events begin promptly at 6:30.  Please register at www.mtchs.org/reg

The 2017-2018 school year lottery application is now available online:  https://fs30.formsite.com/technologymtchsorg/form10/form_login.html

Socktober Progress

Socktober Challenge Update

/in /by
Our Socktober contest is heating up! We’re more than halfway there, and the race is very close! Knowing that there’s a donut party for the winning grade, and ten minutes extra lunchtime if we meet the goal of 500 pairs of socks, our students have really stepped up to the challenge! Here’s where it stands as of right now:
Freshmen: 100 pairs ?
Sophomores: 109 pairs of socks! ?
Juniors: 73 pairs ?
Seniors: 93 pairs ?
 
I looks like Student Government should reach their goal of distributing 500 pairs (or more) of socks to the Boise Rescue Mission! Great job so far, MTCHS students and families!

MTCHS Students at Gowen Thunder

MTCHS wishes to congratulate Electronics Teacher Mrs. Torek, whose lesson plan was accepted for the Gowen Thunder STEM Challenge!  As a reward, her Junior and Senior electronics students had a few extra perks as they attended Gowen Thunder on Friday, October 13. In addition to their other STEM activities, students were given a turn on the A-10 Warthog flight simulator!  They also watched the USAF Thunderbirds practice, enjoyed an A-10 demonstration, toured the tarmac and looked at several airplanes, and by all accounts had an amazing time!
