Celebrate!

There is much to celebrate within the MCH community, and specifically, the Charter School. Following are three great reasons to appreciate the work of our Charter School.

National Distinction
U.S. News & World Report recently gave Methodist Children's Home national recognition by naming our University of Texas Charter School as a Bronze Medal Charter School. This is the second year we have received an honorable distinction. For more information on our ranking, click here.

Graduates
On Friday, December 18, eight proud young people walked across the stage at Austin Avenue United Methodist Church and received their much-deserved high school diplomas. Congratulations to all of our MCH Charter School December graduates: Ashleigh, Brecken, Gabe, Irwin, JT, Kyra, Sam and Terri. May God guide, bless and protect you as you begin a new chapter of life.
