The end of the year is near! Take a look at these upcoming year-end dates. Please note, this is a list of major dates and does not include every grade-level special date.


Photography students are expanding their skills. Students have been learning about lighting recently and how to properly light a shot. Check out how senior, Mia Somerville, is using a strobe light for the perfectly curated shot.


Our B.L. students are set to be TV stars next month! Mark down these Pledge of Allegiance air dates:

We aim to develop well-rounded Trojans; it's why we encourage our students to connect to experiences outside the classroom in our community. Ecology students did just that when they cleaned up Johnson Road in Sebring. Students demonstrated great teamwork and we are proud of their efforts.


Before break we celebrated our third quarter award-winning students. Way to go Trojans! Let's finish the year strong!

Today we honor Ms. Tiffany Thomas on School Librarian Appreciation Day. Ms. Thomas integrates the love of reading with multimedia skills for our B.L. students. Whether it's diving into a good story, learning to type, or using technology to explore, we are thankful for the impact Ms. Thomas has on our young Trojans!

Small school, BIG hearts: Trojans help each other! We are proud to report that this year's "Emily's Project" fundraiser had a record year, raising over $2,000 this month for the newly established "The Jen and Jake Project"! We are grateful for students who lead the way with their efforts to support our community. We are also grateful for the unwavering support of parents, families, and neighbors. Together, our small school has made a huge impact on local non-profits in honor of "Emily's Project," totaling over $22,000 raised since 2017.
To celebrate this huge "Emily's Project" milestone, students got to turn Mr. Clark into a human sundae! Fun was had and good work was done this month! Way to go Trojans!

Another reminder of our upcoming break:

Today we recognize the daily contributions of our incredible paraprofessionals. Our paraprofessionals support our district in numerous ways by assisting teachers and students in the classroom with additional instruction and various tasks, which keeps our days running smoothly. We thank our Paraprofessional team for their dedication to our district!

March Madness is wrapping up at McKinley and we are proud of our generous Trojans and community. These McKinley students selected “The Jake and Jen Project” to support through the efforts of “Emily’s Project”.
Sebring community members founded the Jake and Jen Project to raise awareness about the impact strong mental health has on military families. Each year, McKinley students select a non-profit to be the beneficiary of "Emily's Project."

Earlier this week, we proudly inducted new members to McKinley's National Honor Society. Congratulations to our inductees and current members who exemplify the pillars of NHS: scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

As part of their unit on the Great Depression, Mrs. Lee's American History students stepped into the experiences of Americans during the 1930s by creating their own Hoovervilles. Working in groups, they designed and constructed small shantytowns using limited materials to represent the makeshift shelters many unemployed families built during the economic crisis. Students also created a budget to understand the difficult financial choices families faced during this time. The class prepared and tasted “Hoover Stew,” a simple meal inspired by foods people could afford during the Depression.




Mrs. Everhart’s class took a lesson from the 7-Mindset program and put it into practice. The lesson centered around the concept of “Thanking it Forward”, recognizing the important work each of us contributes to our environment. Students thought of someone who works in our school who does not receive much recognition. Nearly all the students thought of our custodian, Mr. Miller. Students decided to make Mr. Miller a card and got him donuts. A great example of students “Thanking it Forward”.
