The Academy of Business Management Leadership Pathway program includes a house system to build community and collaboration across six classes and three course levels. The House Hype event included opportunities for students to get to know their housemates and to compete against the other houses in games and activities. Congratulations to the House of Iris for taking first place! ❤️💜💛💚
Last week our senior students attended the MCPSS College Fair at USA Mitchell Center. About 60 colleges, university and technical programs from across the Southeast were on hand to talk with students about their programs and majors, admissions process, student loan options, and more. As Dr. Monica Motley, MCPSS Coordinator of Transformational Improvement/Director of School Counseling Services, shared, “We want our students to connect with a college or university, to find out more information, to go beyond just looking at a website.”
Monday, September 28th is a Virtual School Day. Students will receive information from their teachers about assignments that need to be completed during the Virtual Day
Students in Mrs. Peoples-Williams’ Chemistry class recently participated in an AMSTI lab focused on solubility. Through hands-on investigation, students explored how and why different substances dissolve and put their chemistry knowledge into action! 🧑🏻🔬🔬🧪🔍
We love seeing our Vikings engaged in meaningful, hands-on learning! 💙🖤

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Academy of Modern Manufacturing at MGM! This exciting program is designed to prepare students for entry-level careers in the manufacturing industry and provide them with the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in today’s manufacturing environment.
Students are learning a combination of employability skills, workplace safety, technical skills, and manufacturing principles. The program provides hands-on instruction in areas such as machine operations, production line operations, automation, quality control, maintenance, manufacturing planning, system analysis, instrumentation, physical controls, safety, and informational infrastructure.
So far, our students have focused on workplace safety and have already begun putting those skills into practice through hands-on projects around our school. Students have also had the opportunity to think like manufacturers by selecting a current product and creating presentations explaining how they could reconfigure the manufacturing process or improve the product.
We are excited to watch our students grow as they develop valuable technical and workplace skills through this new academy. We look forward to the many opportunities ahead and the success of our Academy of Modern Manufacturing!

Congratulations to the Azalea Trail Maid candidates that will be moving on to the county interviews from MGM. We are so proud of your hard work and we wish you well on the next round of interviews.
Dr. McInnis’ Academy of Biomedical PLTW Medical Interventions students kicked off the school year by stepping into the shoes of medical technologists and research scientists and tackling a real-world medical mystery!
Students investigated a simulated infectious disease outbreak, using contact tracing, bioinformatics, and molecular laboratory techniques to track the spread of the illness, identify the pathogen, and determine the outbreak’s “patient zero.”
One of the highlights of the investigation was performing an ELISA assay, a laboratory technique used to detect specific antibodies or proteins. Students analyzed samples from ten patients to determine who had tested positive for the pesky culprit behind the outbreak.
Through this hands-on investigation, students are building valuable skills in scientific inquiry, laboratory techniques, critical thinking, and problem-solving while experiencing what it’s like to work in the medical and research fields.
Who knew solving a medical mystery could be such a great way to start the school year?
Next up? It's time to learn about how to treat this agent and what happens when the pathogen mutates.

This summer, 16 students in our Academy of Business Management Work-Based Learning Program had the opportunity to earn an additional credit through the Co-op Program as an extension of their previous school-year experience. Throughout the summer, students strengthened essential employability skills, received valuable job training, and gained hands-on experience in customer service.
We are incredibly proud of these students for their commitment, hard work, and willingness to grow professionally. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our community business partners for providing meaningful work-based learning experiences and supporting the development of our future workforce.
Thank you to our students and community partners for making this summer experience a success!

MGM Leadership students and Peer Helpers hosted a Peer Helper Training Day for students from Allentown Elementary, Semmes Elementary, and J.E. Turner Elementary.
Peer Helpers serve as leaders in their schools by fostering kindness, growth, and healthy choices, guided by their motto, “Be the good. Show the way. Lend a hand.”
Throughout the day, our future Vikings worked alongside MGM student leaders to learn the skills they’ll need to serve as Peer Helpers in their own schools. They also got a chance to tour MGM and see the campus we hope they’ll one day call home! 🩵
We loved having our feeder schools on campus and watching our Vikings help develop the next generation of student leaders! 🙌
