Students in Ms. Stuvel’s AICE English Language classes at MCHS are sharpening their analytical skills by comparing voice and viewpoints across different types of texts.
Through close reading and discussion, students are learning how narrative perspective shapes meaning, influences credibility, and impacts how readers interpret a message. From authorial voice to point of view, they’re discovering that how a story is told can be just as powerful as what is being said.
This work challenges students to think deeply, question perspectives, and become more intentional readers and writers—skills that extend well beyond the classroom.
👏 Way to go, Tigers, for engaging thoughtfully with text and elevating your literary analysis!

Please join us in celebrating our Varsity Defensive Captain, Kaelum Chandler, who has officially committed to play D1 lacrosse at Wagner College in New York! 🐺🥍💚
Becoming a Division I athlete is no small feat — in fact, only about 2.9%–3.2% of high school boys’ lacrosse players ever make a D1 roster. That puts Kaelum in the top tier of student‑athletes nationwide! 🔥💪

💛💙 Congratulations, Kaelum!
