MCS also welcomes new MS Social Studies Teacher Michelle Zaia.
Michelle is a lifelong New York State resident originally from the Hamilton area. I graduated from SUNY Cortland with a dual Bachelor's degree in Adolescence Education and History as well as a Master's degree in Literacy education. This is my 20th year of teaching Social Studies to students in grades 7-12. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience at all grade levels as well as collegiate level Psychology and Sociology. I have also worked with the National History Day organization and the Case Method Institute through Harvard University to enhance my teaching. In these fabulous 20 years of teaching I maintain that knowing who my students are as people is the best way to assist them in being successful on their educational journey.

It's Performance Season for our outstanding MCS Musicians! Please save these important upcoming dates:
MCS students in grades 10-12 attended the Women in Law Program sponsored by The Women's Bar Association of the State of New York (WBASNY). This was an exciting educational and mentorship opportunity for our students! Students were able to learn about various professions in the law by listening to a panel of professional women in the legal community, including esteemed Justices of the Supreme, Family and Local Courts, Law Clerks, Attorneys, and Court Officers. The panelists shared their respective professions, journeys, and experiences within the legal field and answered some thought provoking questions from our girls.
