MCHS students design new school flag

Students in Greg Conley's Special Topics class are putting the new Corel Drawx4 software to good use by re-designing a new flag for the school. Eighteen students took on the task.   The task was simple:   • Design a flag that represents the school with class.

Designs came from the following students: John Austin Browning, Carla Allen, Ethan Hughes, Candace Miles, Lauren Robey, Jordan Wheatley, Ariona Barnett, Madison Beach, Abby Browning, Ann Rachel Hagan, Heather Knopp, Corey Lee, Amber Mudd and Tony Ryan.
