AROUND CAMPUS MCH public school students earn academic honors MCH students who attend public school earned a variety of academic honors during the spring semester. Students attended Waco High School, University High School and A.J. Moore Academy in the Waco ISD, and youth from the residential program in Waxahachie attended schools in their community. Yesenia earned recognition on the A Honor Roll. Students named to the A/B Honor Roll were Josh, Harold, Nahom, Calvin, Abenezer, Mindy and Simona. Five students – Harold, Lauren, Adam, Abenezer and Brianna – were inducted into the National Honor Society, and two students – Jennifer and Essence – were selected as “Academic Achievers” by the Waco school district. Two residents from the MCH program in Waxahachie – Sarah and Andrew – were inducted into the Beta Club honor society. “The majority of public school students this year were highly focused on their advanced academic courses,” said Betty Morrow, school coordinator. “They completed advanced placement courses as well as dual credit college courses. Most of them will have completed one to two semesters of college hours by the time they graduate from high school. They have learned that their hard work in high school will pay off in time and money in college.” MCH students compete in UIL Sixteen students from the MCH-University of Texas Charter School competed in the high school UIL spring meet Albaugh Scholarship recipients returned to the Waco campus following the spring semester.
