Saturday May 18, 2019 a few students in culinary participated in the 4th Annual Community Chopped Challenge. This timed contest puts teams of students from all over the district culinary programs together for the first time to work to achieve the top dishes under stressful working conditions (no running water or electricity). This years theme was an all dessert challenge. The winning team included McKay students Riley Ross Jacobson and Ezequiel Torres Fernandez along with Ashleigh from North Salem and Melvin from South Salem. Congrats to our Royal Scots! 

McKay students rolled up their sleeves for the Red Cross today and donated blood. There’s a critical need for blood donations in our region right now, and the Royal Scots stepped up.

It’s time for the Spring Show!

It’s a dark and stormy night at a very unusual and deadly dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well . . . dead. So whodunnit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue: On Stage is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
