MTCHS SkillsUSA representatives participated alongside students from across the state at the Idaho CTSO Showcase at the Capitol rotunda. The Idaho CTSO (Career and Technical Student Organizations) showcase at the Capitol rotunda is a wonderful opportunity for students to demonstrate their skills and advocate for Career and Technical Education. Meeting with legislators and the public allows students to share their experiences and perspectives, raising awareness about the diverse career paths available through CTE and the importance of preparing students for the workforce.

On Wednesday afternoon, February 19, we will be holding a Higher Ed Day at MTCHS and MMACHS. Representatives from Idaho universities and colleges will be meeting with Juniors from both schools to discuss next steps after high school. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about various degrees, programs, and options available to them at one of the many higher education institutions in the state of Idaho.

MTCHS is excited to announce hosting a 24-hour non-stop Gaming Marathon from 3:00 PM on February 28th to 3:00 PM on March 1st!

We have some amazing prizes to be won prior to and during the event, thanks to Kokusai Electric, our Official Prize Sponsor! Prizes include a new gaming pc, Wacom Graphics Tablet, Apple AirPods, a GoPro, and more!
Our goal is to raise $25,000 for St. Luke`s Children`s Hospital!
This event is open to MTCHS students, friends, incoming students, and alumni and is going to be more than just a gaming event – think board games, movies, food, and a fun social atmosphere! To participate, each individual must join the MTCHS team, create their own fundraising page, and raise a minimum $50… but we encourage everyone to aim much higher!
Collectively, our students have already raised $5,750!

Two MTCHS students, Silver Paucar-Carmona and Brayden Wilkerson, back row, left side, and MTCHS graduate Ryan Howson, front row, right, were among the student representatives at the Student Day Legislative Luncheon on February 5 at the Hoff Building in Boise. These students are secondary and postsecondary state officers/representatives from multiple career technical student organizations. The event is hosted by the Idaho Career Technical Education Foundation and brings CTE students, legislators, and CTE leaders together. Happy CTE Month!
Due to the snow day last Friday, we had to cancel our annual Tech Fair, and unfortunately, we will not be able to reschedule it this year. For those contests that use Tech Fair as a state qualifier, advisors will work directly with any interested contestants to explore alternative qualification methods.
For students interested in competing at the State SkillsUSA level, please contact your advisor as soon as possible. The Idaho State Conference will be held on April 7-9. Registrations are due by Monday, February 24th.
The Idaho State SkillsUSA Conference is a great growth opportunity, with potential to go on to Nationals. We encourage anyone interested to compete.
