About

Our History

MCH Strategic Data was founded in 1928 by noted educator Dr. Forrest E. Long. Dr. Long was a Professor of Education at New York University. He was also an author, editor, publisher, administrator and innovator. While at NYU, he became the editor and publisher of Junior High Clearing House, an educational journal for secondary schools. The focus of the journal was to be a “clearing house” of ideas. The distribution of Junior High Clearing House to school principals soon evolved into the first commercial school mailing list and became the forerunner of today’s educational list industry. Today, MCH has evolved into a leading provider of data and technology solutions. MCH’s commitment to providing superior solutions is evidenced by ongoing investment in people, data, technology, and services, and Dr. Long’s legacy lives on in the passion, experience, and dedication of MCH’s employees.
