🍩 Doughnuts with Dads – What a Sweet Success! 🍩
We had an amazing turnout for our Doughnuts with Dads event! It was wonderful to see so many fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and father figures join our students for a fun morning of smiles, conversation, and (of course) delicious doughnuts.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our school community #OneMcCormick

We are so proud of our students who are attending coding camp this week during intersession. Ms. Jillian Coffin is working with PTC McCormick to teach the coding camp this week. Teamwork! Way to go!



We are incredibly proud of our students in the McCormick County School District. Six students from McCormick Middle School attended Culinary Camp in Greenwood, under the direction of Chef Jay Hancock. I look forward to seeing our students become accomplished chefs in the near future! Happy Cooking.
