We believe MCHS is great opportunity for students and are very disappointed in <br />the results of our recruitment efforts. In discussions with students and school <br />administrators, several reasons were provided for the low enrollment: the distance to the <br />facility is too long for many students, the lack of typical high school extra- and co- <br />curricular activities is a deterrent for many students, and recruitment comes too late in the <br />high school career. <br />We recommend that recruitment begin in eighth and ninth grades and is followed <br />up through out the year with opportunities to learn about and/or to prepare for the <br />transition to MCHS. In addition, we recommend a transition program for tenth grade <br />students who plan to enroll in the MCHS for their junior and senior years. We also <br />recommend more aggressive recruitment by the MCHS principal, Dr. Nolan. Johnston <br />County's MCHS principal believes this as the key to the success of their program. <br />
