How do you make school lunch more appealing? Start by asking the students!

A group of McCracken culinary students recently attended a food vendor expo, where they sampled breakfast, snack, and lunch options that meet federal school nutrition guidelines.

From ramen to barbecue to breakfast egg rolls, students tasted a variety of potential menu items and shared their feedback—helping make school meals both nutritious and something students can actually get excited about!

Learning Spanish from A to Z!

Spanish 1 students have been learning the Spanish alphabet. After practicing the letters and their pronunciation, they took it to the next level by spelling the letters in human form!

It’s a fun, hands-on way to reinforce pronunciation, letter recognition, and teamwork while bringing Spanish to life in the classroom.

¡Buen trabajo, Mustangs!

🇺🇸 Civics Week at MCHS!

Last week, our Mustangs spent time learning what it means to be an informed and engaged citizen.

During Senior HERD, students received important information about voter registration, Selective Service, jury duty, and income taxes. Our 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students learned more about the required high school civics exam. Students also took part in a special Constitution Day activity on Thursday, September 17.

Thanks to Senior Grant Seaton, who organized a Voter Registration Drive, students who will be 18 by Kentucky’s November 3 General Election also had the opportunity to register to vote.

A big thank you to Mr. Drake Williams and our Social Studies Department for helping students better understand the responsibilities, opportunities, and importance of being engaged citizens!

The new welding program at McCracken County High School is off to a great start! With 14 welding bays, students are gaining valuable hands-on experience while preparing for high-demand careers.

Last week, welding teacher Mr. Tucker and his classes welcomed Fabian Villota and Buz Smith from General Matter to discuss careers in welding and the qualities the company will seek in future employees.

Mr. Villota shared his journey from military service to his current role with General Matter and emphasized the importance of developing good habits now to achieve future success. Students learned about background checks, security clearances, and the technical and soft skills needed in the workplace.

They also had the opportunity to ask questions about General Matter, other industries coming to Paducah, the economic impact these companies will have on our region, and the growing demand for skilled welders.

Thank you to Mr. Villota, Mr. Smith, and General Matter for connecting classroom learning with real-world career opportunities!

Students with the Youth Services Center recently participated in the United Way’s Day of Community Service, continuing a tradition they have been part of for the past five years!

Each year, students are assigned a different local nonprofit or community project where they can lend a helping hand. This year, our students spent the day at Noble Park, where they cleaned, sanded, scraped, and painted the park pavilions.

Experiences like this give students an important lesson beyond the classroom—the value of serving others and giving back to the community we call home.

We are proud of our Mustangs for rolling up their sleeves and making a difference!

🎬🐎 From Mustang Media Arts to the Film Set!

We loved welcoming former Mustang and Media Arts student Chandler Newsome (Class of 2023) back to MCHS!

Chandler spoke with our Media Arts students about his experience working in the film industry, where he has already earned multiple production credits and is building a bright future working in the electrical department as a gaffer and grip.

He gave students a behind-the-scenes look at what his job entails on set, shared advice on breaking into the industry, and talked about the hard work and persistence it takes to keep landing jobs and building a career.

There’s nothing better than seeing a former Mustang return to share real-world experience with the next generation. We’re proud of you, Chandler, and can’t wait to see where your career takes you!

Learning was on the menu in Mrs. Woodruff’s Culinary 2 class!

Students recently worked on poaching eggs while putting their creativity to the test with plating and garnishing. The lesson even brought Academy of Technology, Business, and Hospitality Principal Mrs. Mandy Irvan into the kitchen, where one of our students stepped up to coach her through the process!

It was a great example of students building skills, sharing what they know, and gaining confidence through hands-on experience.

And yes — Mrs. Irvan’s finished plate definitely looked egg-cellent!

Ever watched a principal get taught by a student? In Mrs. Woodruff’s Culinary 2 class, students tried poaching eggs for the first time while also practicing creative plating and garnishing. Our Academy of Technology, Business, and Hospitality Principal, Mrs. Irvan, jumped right in—and one of our students got the chance to show her how it’s done! 🔥 Her final dish turned out pretty egg-cellent! 💯 We love seeing the teamwork, confidence, and hands-on learning happening in our classrooms every day.
