SCMHS began an online registration process this school year. This cuts down on the 25+ page registration packet students have to fill out and return each year. In order to expedite this process, school officials need students to complete the following Google Form. Follow the link below and answer just five simple questions. Once the information was submitted and received by the school each student should receive an email containing all the forms needed for the year.
