Activism

Activism is a central part of our work in the 7th and 8th grade. The students choose the topic, and all decisions are made either by the activism committee or by the entire class. Recent topics include substance use disorder, youth mental health, and the Black Lives Matter movement. All students and teachers are involved in the campaign from the beginning. In fact, the entire MCS community rallies around the activism campaign. The process is led by the activism elective, which all students are invited and encouraged to join. Just as history is determined by the choices people made, our current reality and future are determined by the choices we make.
