What is Rachel’s Challenge?
Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America.
Powerful video/audio footage of Rachel's life and the Columbine tragedy holds students spell-bound during a one hour school presentation that motivates them to positive change in the way they treat others. |  |

The Counseling Department at Mayde Creek Junior High is organizing small groups of students who would like to meet together to discuss issues that may be interfering with academic progress or their sense of well being. Most groups are organized as a series of 4-8 meetings, usually scheduled once a week during the school day and lasting from 30-45 minutes. The groups are composed of 6-10 students, a counselor and on occasion an additional faculty member or the school psychologist. Groups on the topics or Divorce or grief or being a new student here at MCJH are being formed. Please use the following link for an application and more information. | |
