Hello from Mayland Early College. Tomorrow college classes resume. If you cannot get to campus then you can work on the courses online. If you do not have access to the internet then please call your instructor and the college liaison to leave a message. High school will not resume until Mitchell County Schools deem it safe. Our building will be open this week if students want to come by and work on assignments but in no way is it required. Students in college classes have my permission to drop classes depending on the class expectations. Some instructors are waiving assignments, some are providing extensions, and some are requiring everything to be completed by Nov 12. Thus if you are in a stressful situation please email me so we can discuss your options. My primary concern is your physical and mental wellbeing. Hopefully we can get back on track soon. If you wish to participate in the Halloween event please email one of the teachers and fill out the Google form sent last week. Thank you and have a great week.

We urge you to follow the Mitchell County NC Government and Michell County Emergency Management pages. We will try to share community updates when possible, but like everyone else, we don't have cell service unless we go outside the area.
Mitchell County Schools will be Closed tomorrow, Thursday Sept 26th and Friday, Sept 27th due the severe rain and wind event predicted to hit our area. We are forecasted to receive up to 15+ inches of rainfall and sustained winds of 50 mph+. Rainfall is predicted to become heavy after midnight tonight. Please stay safe and monitor this weather event!
The Mitchell High School football game has been rescheduled from Friday until tomorrow night at 7:00pm. At this time, our school schedule will remain as planned, with a 2 hour early release day on Friday. We will continue monitor the weather and will keep you informed if changes are needed in the schedule later in the week.
Next week, September 23-27, is School Bus Ridership Week across school districts in North Carolina. The funding that we get for transportation is dependent on the number of students who ride a school bus during this week. Even if your child rides the bus occasionally, we ask that they please ride at least one day next week.
Today the students presented information regarding the various clubs offered at Mayland Early College. All students are required to participate in at least one club. Today's event allowed the students to learn about all their options. I appreciate all students who were involved.
MECHS students enjoy an afternoon of creating various desserts. Lots of fun and delicious!
