My Students

At MHS, our biggest point of pride is that we are the most diverse high school in CPS. We, as educators, embrace that and do our best to provide our students with opportunities as unique as they are. Our mens’ volleyball team is made up of young men from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and cultures. We are so excited to unite them through one of the best cooperative team sports out there. Thank you for taking the time to make that happen!

My Project

We want to provide our students with the opportunity to play volleyball with pride for our school. Volleyball is a life-long sport that brings together people from all cultures, races and nationalities. We also have the opportunity to teach discipline and cooperation to students who truly need it. After the pandemic, it is more important than ever to supply our students with the chance to be more than themselves. In our interest meeting alone, we had nearly 70 students show up. Knowing that this volleyball system will set our program up for success even a decade from now makes me even more excited about its impact.
