Our history

MCH Strategic Data was founded in 1928 by Forrest E. Long, a noted education professor, author and innovator. While at NYU, Dr. Long became editor and publisher of Junior High Clearing House, an educational journal for secondary schools. Its distribution channels soon evolved into the first commercial school mailing list, becoming the forerunner of today’s educational data industry.
