Next week, September 23-27, is School Bus Ridership Week across school districts in North Carolina. The funding that we get for transportation is dependent on the number of students who ride a school bus during this week. Even if your child rides the bus occasionally, we ask that they please ride at least one day next week.
Today the students presented information regarding the various clubs offered at Mayland Early College. All students are required to participate in at least one club. Today's event allowed the students to learn about all their options. I appreciate all students who were involved.
MECHS students enjoy an afternoon of creating various desserts. Lots of fun and delicious!

Fifteen Mayland Early College students volunteered at the Empty Bowls Project on August 17th. This was a great opportunity for the students to be involved with quality service programs and learn lifelong lessons on giving back to the community. The students shared they really enjoyed the experience and look forward to serving in other ways this coming school year.

Free Breakfast & Lunch for 2024-25 school year!!
We are excited about the upcoming school year and the changes and opportunities that it will bring for our students. As usual, kindergarten will have a staggered entry based on last name to help them become acclimated to school. Also, we will have a staggered entry based on grade level for Mitchell Elementary and Mitchell Middle this year. We hope this will be better for students to become familiar with the building and parents to become familiar with drop-off/pick-up procedures. Mitchell High School and Mayland Early College will have a regular schedule for all students beginning the first day of school. The document below outlines the schedule for the first week for each school.

Good afternoon from Mayland Early College High School. This is a brief reminder that textbooks from spring and summer courses must be returned by next Tuesday to ensure that students get the needed textbooks for the fall semester. School staff members are working diligently to ensure all textbooks are ready. If books are not returned promptly then our supply is limited. Thank you and enjoy the remainder of your summer break.
