"I would like to thank the MHS Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), McCormick County School District (MCSD), the Paul Dennis Center, and the McCormick Community for all their support and help with our 2025 Senior Banner Fundraiser. The fundraiser took place on Saturday, May 24 and it was a BIG success. The MHS SAAC selled 26 hot dog plates as well as received numerous donations to the purchase of the banner. Our goal for the senior banner fundraiser was at least $100-$120. All together the SAAC raised $686. The money will be used to purchase this banner as well as support our community and student-athletes. Again, thank you all for your support and continue to encourage our student-athletes to be and do their absolute best everyday as well as, show them that taking action and being great leaders can make a change in their lives." ~Makel Tillman
