Dear Mobile Central High families,

It is with shock and immense sadness that we share the news with you today that our school community is grieving the sudden passing of one of our teachers, Christina Tuff. Christina was a big part of our school and was well known for her love of her students - she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this most difficult time.

This loss may raise many emotions, concerns and questions from our community, especially our students. Our guidance team will be available to support students in coping with this tragic loss. We encourage you, as parents, to use the resources and/or services listed to navigate potential conversations with your child or to seek additional professional support.

If your child is significantly impacted by this event, please reach out to our school and we will work with NLSchools to assist and support wherever possible.

MCHS Cell Policy

Please see the policy to the right. Note that there are expectations and procedure specific to the school added to the memo.

Video Surveillance

It is important that all parents and guardians are aware that the school uses a video security system. We believe this is necessary to protect the safety and security of students, staff and visitors and to protect student and district property.

According to district policy, a video/electronic security system can be a valuable tool for promoting safe and secure teaching and learning environments. Such systems can support the implementation of Safe and Caring Schools policies and may help schools to respond to bullying behaviour, prevent or reduce theft and vandalism and provide a means for holding individuals accountable for criminal or unbecoming conduct while on district property. The use of video/electronic security systems on district property balances the privacy rights of students and others with our obligation to provide safe learning and working environments and the need to protect district property from theft and vandalism.
