From the President

Dear Members of the MCC Family,

I started the letter the MCC yearbook staff asked me to write for this year’s yearbook with an African Proverb that very simply states, “Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.” Perhaps there are no better words to describe the 2020-21 school year for MCC and for that matter, all schools. Our year has been one of growth and positive change as we became more skillful sailors and worked through the challenges COVID-19 brought on what seems like a daily basis. Words and phrases like hybrid learning, quarantine, social distancing and wear your mask properly entered our educational language helping to stir our waters.

Despite the challenges, the MCC community continued to move forward. In this issue of Connect you will read about our present in stories like our first semester honor roll, college signings, athletic update, and Class of 2021 college acceptances. You will also see how our present connects to our past by reading profiles of Carol Kasch ’65, Dr. Morvarid Moini ‘03, and Kelli Kalisik ‘99. More, you will see how our present connects to our future by reading about our newly added Kathy Gotshall Memorial Scholarship and a special event we held for the Class of 2025.

Enjoy issue number two of our digital magazine. Let us know what you like and how we can make it better.

Best, Nicholas Regina
