For Wednesday, January 22, Mayland Early College High School will have a Remote Instruction Day. Students check your email and Canvas pages for the links to the Google Meets. Classes will meet at the same time seated class would have met.
📢 Attention Parents and Guardians!
We’re conducting a survey with our high school students to better understand their internet access at home. The information gathered will help us identify and assist students who may need support, including providing T-Mobile hotspots to those without reliable access.
💻 What You Need to Know: The survey will be conducted during school hours. If you do NOT want your child to participate in this survey, please call the school to opt-out.
Your input is invaluable! If your child is participating, we encourage you to discuss your household’s internet and cell service with them to ensure accurate responses. Here are the questions (mostly multiple choice) that will be on the survey:
Do you have reliable internet access at home?
If yes, what type of internet connection do you have at home?
Have you experienced any challenges with internet access at home?
How often do these challenges affect your ability to complete schoolwork?
How would you rate the cell service/signal in your home?
Would having a T-Mobile hotspot improve your ability to complete schoolwork?
If provided with a T-Mobile hotspot, how often would you use it for school work?
Is there anything else you'd like us to know about your internet or cell service needs?
Together, we can help bridge the digital divide and set our students up for success! Thank you for your cooperation.
Mitchell County Schools are closed but Mayland Early College will have a Remote Instruction Day on Friday January 10. Students, please check your email for a schedule of when your Google Meet will be held. The meeting links will also be posted on your Canvas page but the times have been adjusted for tomorrow.
For January 8, MECHS classes will begin at 11 am. Buses in Yancey are running on a two hour delay and Mitchell on a three hour delay. That puts all bus riders arriving at MEC by 11:05. Car riders need to be at school by 11 . We will begin classes at that time and follow the regular schedule until dismissal.
Mr. Calhoun has gotten Crocs donated for the students of Mitchell County. Students please email your shoe size to the following teachers:
9th-Ward
10th-Duncan
11th- Edwards
12-13th- Willis
Thank you and if you get a chance let Mr Calhoun know you appreciate what all he has done for you throughout the aftermath of the hurricane. Happy Holidays!
The picture is not what color you may get. I just had to have a picture to go with the post.

Free medical clinics at Mayland Community college. Temporary tents are set in the parking lot staffed by doctors with the ability to write prescriptions. Hours of operation 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Hello from Mayland Early College. Tomorrow college classes resume. If you cannot get to campus then you can work on the courses online. If you do not have access to the internet then please call your instructor and the college liaison to leave a message. High school will not resume until Mitchell County Schools deem it safe. Our building will be open this week if students want to come by and work on assignments but in no way is it required. Students in college classes have my permission to drop classes depending on the class expectations. Some instructors are waiving assignments, some are providing extensions, and some are requiring everything to be completed by Nov 12. Thus if you are in a stressful situation please email me so we can discuss your options. My primary concern is your physical and mental wellbeing. Hopefully we can get back on track soon. If you wish to participate in the Halloween event please email one of the teachers and fill out the Google form sent last week. Thank you and have a great week.

If you have other needs please do not hesitate to share those as well. stacieburleson@mhslive.net. Thank you
We urge you to follow the Mitchell County NC Government and Michell County Emergency Management pages. We will try to share community updates when possible, but like everyone else, we don't have cell service unless we go outside the area.
Mitchell County Schools will be Closed tomorrow, Thursday Sept 26th and Friday, Sept 27th due the severe rain and wind event predicted to hit our area. We are forecasted to receive up to 15+ inches of rainfall and sustained winds of 50 mph+. Rainfall is predicted to become heavy after midnight tonight. Please stay safe and monitor this weather event!
The Mitchell High School football game has been rescheduled from Friday until tomorrow night at 7:00pm. At this time, our school schedule will remain as planned, with a 2 hour early release day on Friday. We will continue monitor the weather and will keep you informed if changes are needed in the schedule later in the week.
Next week, September 23-27, is School Bus Ridership Week across school districts in North Carolina. The funding that we get for transportation is dependent on the number of students who ride a school bus during this week. Even if your child rides the bus occasionally, we ask that they please ride at least one day next week.
Today the students presented information regarding the various clubs offered at Mayland Early College. All students are required to participate in at least one club. Today's event allowed the students to learn about all their options. I appreciate all students who were involved.
MECHS students enjoy an afternoon of creating various desserts. Lots of fun and delicious!
