Student Activities & Sports

MCTI's student activities program is operated by the Leisure Service Department. Most activities are coordinated by the Leisure Service staff; however, students are encouraged to volunteer their time and talents. The wide variety of activities helps students plan their after-school hours in a fun, rewarding, and productive manner.
