Millington Central High School is made up of over 1,500 students who have either come from outside of this area or from one of the four feeder schools. The Shelby County schools that send students to MCHS are Millington Middle School, Lucy Elementary School, Jeter Elementary School and Woodstock Elementary School. One of the major feeder schools for MCHS is Millington Middle. Of its 500 member student body, approximately 250 are eighth graders who will be walking our hallways next year. The blue and white stallions of Millington Middle are led by their principal, Mr. Roger Deanes. Another feeder school with grades kindergarten through eighth is Lucy. These maroon and gold Eagles have perched in a nest of academic success. The school has been established since 1911 and is the oldest feeder school is this area. Dr. Jewell is the new principal and is very confident that further success can be expected. Jeter is our smallest feeder school. Ms. Dorothy Gant is the principal of these red and white Jeter Jets. Because of their small size, the Jets have formed a very close knit community. Thirty-four of the 250 students at this feeder school will bring their hometown spirit to MCHS. The feeder school with the greatest number of total students is Woodstock with 703. One hundred and ten of these are eighth graders who will come to Millington at “graduation. The principal, Mr. John E. Strong, Jr., is very proud of his red and black “Aggies. We also have elementary schools that feed into these. As a result, the students of Millington South, Millington East, Millington Central, E. A. Harold, and Northaven also become Millington Trojans. opening 13

Activities Tie Gs Together There is an alternative to practice, homework, and reading that we all choose more often than not, and that is going out. Whether we go on dates or in herds, we go out to relieve ourselves from the tormenting monotony of school activity. There are a trillion things to do and it is really difficult to choose, but at some time we all end up going to some of the same places, depending on what time of the year it is, or what type of mood we are in. It is innate with us to think of the Trojans and the Tigers playing football when we feel that first cool breeze blowing. The nights get colder; the season rolls on. The Trojan power seen in the game against Dyersburg makes us proud to be Trojans. We see the Memphis State game against Ole Miss end in a disappointing tie and we still move on. Next, we roll into the season that keeps us cold even more days of the week, basketball. With games three and four days a week and snow around the corner, we are avid fans of the two T's again. Some of us may take a day or two out of this season to try out winter activities, such as ice skating and begin to plan for New Year’s. Ending this one, we'll watch the Super Bowl and again move on. This season hits with record speed as we see the end of school nearing, but we keep up our pace and take advantage of the warmer weather. Shelby Forest becomes a place to picnic, play frisbee golf, and just enjoy the sun. We can head for the putt-putt golf course, and practice our batting with the machines that cannot pitch any better than our little brother or sister, but this season, too, moves on. We go through every school year the same way, going out to see and do whatever is the latest thing and squeezing in just enough time for last minute finishing touches on our high school activities to tie up our time and tie us all together, as we move on. opening 15
