After the close of the 2020 Hall of Fame application process, the Alumni Foundation made the decision to revised its guidelines going forward to add a fourth category “For Those Who Gave All.” This category will recognize all MCHS students who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and will be recognized in the Military Hall of Fame. A re-dedication ceremony is being planned with a tentative date of November 11th giving honor to those students from World War I to the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
