McKay’s winter musical, Rock of Ages hits the stage Friday, January 17 and runs two weekends. This cast and crew of fifty students have worked hard to make sure audience members have “nothin’ but a good time” as we relive the glory days of Glam Rock.

It’s the 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Heavy Metal flows freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venues, where legendary rocker Stacee Jaxx takes the stage. Aspiring rock star Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing and falls for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes. But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri, and the gang save the strip–and themselves–before it’s too late? Only the music of Poison, Twisted Sister, Styx, Pat Benatar and more hold the answer.

Come rock out with us (rocker dress encouraged) on Jan 17, 18 and 24 at 7pm or on Jan 25 at 2pm and 7pm. Tickets are $7 and can be purchased at the door 30 minutes prior to show time and are available on line at https://mckayhs.ticketleap.com/rock/

McKay’s Future Business Leaders of America chapter held its second annual Financial Literacy Night in the library on Friday, December 9th 2019. The Financial Literacy Night serves to inform families in the community about basic financial principles. Within minutes of the event the library filled with students eager to learn more about credit cards, loans and how to save like a financially responsible young adult with some pizza of course.

Peter Rector, the community director at MAPS Credit Union started off the night by showcasing common bank accounts, the difference between a savings and checking accounts as well as showcasing the IDA program which offers a 3 to 1 match for those looking to save towards a higher education. 

Later in the night, McKay’s very own Roy Adams took the stage to discuss the dangers of bad loans and how to avoid falling into common financial traps and burden.

As the FBLA chapter gets into their competitive season in January, they hope to host another Financial Literacy Night in the near future and thanks those who helped make this one a success.
