FIRST ISSUE OF NEEMWA

Neemwa is a Native American word from the Miami-Illinois language, spoken by a tribe once native to Illinois. The word means “see.” We feel this is relevant to the work of an artist or author, as creators must “see” the finished product before it can be created. Artists look at things in life, or imagine abstract qualities in their minds. Writers must watch the world around them and incorporate what they see into the vast worlds of their imagination. Even musicians, actors, and graphic designers must see their role, mood, or symbolism before they can come up with a finished piece. That is why this magazine is called Neemwa, because seeing is an integral part of a creator’s life. Click here for these collected creations of MCHS students; please take the time to “see” them, and let their messages reach you. »

MCHS RANKS AMONG BEST IN STATE

In a recent study, US News and World Report ranked Marengo Community High School as among the best high schools in the state of Illinois for 2013. US News and World Report reviewed 21,035 U.S. public high schools in 49 states, and 138 Illinois schools made the rankings, including three from McHenry County. Marengo Community High School received a Silver ranking, ranking at #61 in the state (#1,956 nationally). With 670 high schools in the state, we are ranked in the top 10%.

A variety of data was evaluated, including student-to-teacher ratios, test scores, college readiness, and math and reading proficiency. Student participation in AP exams was also considered. 29% of MCHS students take at least one or more AP test, with a 52% passing rate (score of 3 or higher on a 5 point scale). The Marengo Community High School Board of Education, Administration and Staff are proud of our school and its accomplishments.
