We may have missed the official 3.14 Pi Day over Spring Break, but our amazing PTSO made sure we didn’t miss out on the fun!
Students were treated to delicious pies at lunch today — and it was a calculated success! 📐
There was no dividing the crowd on this one… everyone agreed it was as easy as pi to enjoy! 😄 Some students even considered circling back for seconds 👀
Huge thanks to our PTSO for always finding fun ways to celebrate with our students. You’re truly irrationally awesome — and we appreciate you to infinity and beyond! π 💙
One of the most rewarding things at MTCHS is watching our students grow from freshmen into confident seniors over four short years. Today was one of our favorite traditions that really highlights that journey — Senior Panel Day!
Our freshmen had the chance to sit down with seniors and ask questions about their tech pathways, internships, and experiences at MTCHS. From advice about choosing classes to stories about internships and projects, the seniors shared honest insights about what they’ve learned along the way.
It’s a powerful moment to see freshmen imagining where they might be in a few years… and seniors realizing just how much they’ve accomplished since their first year here.
We’re proud of our seniors for their openness in sharing with their freshmen peers! 🐲
Our Business Seniors visited the Entrepreneur Lab at the College of Western Idaho this morning to get real-world feedback on their business plans. Director Kenton Lee shared valuable insights, asked great questions, and helped our students think like true entrepreneurs.
Experiences like this give students a chance to refine their ideas, practice pitching their concepts, and learn what it takes to turn a great idea into a real business. Thank you to the CWI Entrepreneur Lab for welcoming our students and investing your time in the next generation of innovators!
🎉🐉 We are beyond proud to celebrate our MTCHS 2025 Youth Innovation Challenge winners — Team Soil to Serve! 🐉🎉
As part of Boise Entrepreneur Week’s Youth Innovation Challenge, Idaho high school students were invited to tackle real-world agricultural challenges through a reverse pitch competition. This year’s focus: creating innovative revenue opportunities for one-product farms and helping small agricultural businesses better deliver their products and services.
Our team —Brady, and Elias, and Daysia, — identified a real challenge facing small-scale farmers: limited time and resources for marketing and distribution often mean portions of their harvest go unsold.
Their solution? Soil to Serve — a digital farmers’ marketplace designed to connect local producers directly with consumers, allowing farmers to focus on what they love most: farming. 🌱
🏆 The team was awarded $3,000, with $1,000 coming back to MTCHS to support future innovators!

Thank you, Trailhead, for sponsoring this great challenge as part of Boise Entrepreneur Week.
As part of CTE Month, our Work-Based Learning Coordinator/Career Counselor, Jenni Bradford, took students Carlos and Miranda to represent SkillsUSA at the CTSO Showcase in the Capitol Rotunda, sponsored by the Idaho Division of Career Technical Education.
Carlos and Miranda did an outstanding job sharing their experiences in SkillsUSA and showing off one of our robots! 🤖 Carlos is pictured speaking with Representative Hill and visiting with a House page during the event.
Students had the opportunity later to explore behind the scenes at the Capitol. In the House Chambers, they met Sergeant-at-Arms Jeff Wall, and in the Senate Chambers, they connected with Randy Lyons, who serves as Doorkeeper. They also peeked into the Attorney General’s Office and the Governor’s Office as part of their visit.
We are incredibly proud of how these students represented MTCHS and helped highlight the value of hands-on learning through SkillsUSA and CTE programs!
