Mattoon High School hosted its first annual Academic Spotlight night on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. This event was partnered with Food for Thought, a subcommittee of MHS students and staff passionate about increasing family engagement at MHS. 🥧💭
Families were able to engage in the many academic opportunities identified by students as outstanding, influential, or memorable. Featured were internship opportunities, Personalized Pace Math, American Sign Language activities, Computer Maintenance coding drones, Physics creating catapults, and rocket creation. 🚀💻
In addition, MHS senior Jo A. cooked food for all guests as her capstone project for her Culinary Arts pathway at LIFT, and Noah N. filmed and edited the footage for his capstone project for the Broadcasting pathway at LIFT. Families could also play board games with the Game Club during the evening. These students were incredible leaders throughout the entire event. 👩🍳 📽
We are so proud of all of our student leaders who are passionate about spotlighting the amazing opportunities MHS students have each day, serving our community, and engaging families. 🤝
