  • Meet the Teacher
     
     
    My name is Michael Megyese. This is my 10th year teaching at MCHS and 26th year teaching overall. I am a native of South Bend Indiana and graduated from Saint Joseph's High School in 1985. I earned my BA in secondary education from IUSB in 1994. Along with teaching, I am very active in extracurricular activities. I am the Head Girls Basketball coach at MCHS and assistant Softball coach as well.
    I was awarded the Light of Learning award in 2006 in the Diocese of Fort Wayne- South Bend and was selected as a distinguished teacher in 2013-2014 at MCHS, two awards to which I am very proud of.
     
    I have a passion for teaching kids, both in the classroom and on the Athletic courts and fields. I believe I have the best job in the world, and consider myself fortunate to work everyday with the outstanding young ladies and young men of MCHS.
     
    I reside in St.Jpseph, Michigan after living in Michigan City for 9 years and enjoyed this great community that we live work in everyday.
