MCS High Schools - Planning For The Future
Modesto City Schools (MCS) has a long history of providing high-quality education across seven high schools, serving more than 15,600 students in Stanislaus County. While MCS schools provide high-quality instruction to local high school students, most of our high schools were built 50 to 100 years ago. Our aging education facilities need repairs and upgrades to meet modern academic and safety standards. To maintain high-quality instruction for local students, updates are needed to classrooms, technology and science labs so students graduate with the skills needed for competitive 21st century careers.
