“Being a substitute for MACS has helped prepare me for my teaching career. If it was not for the experience in the different classrooms, I would not have become the educator that I am today. The teachers in this district are always willing to help and have encouraged me to continue my education. This is an amazing community to be a part of!” -Current MACS Teacher
