Attention Raiders who are on a bus route, if your pick up/drop off time has changed for this school year, the transportation department will be making calls starting next Tuesday, 8/12 to give you the new times(s).

If you have any questions or have not heard from someone in the transportation department by Thursday, 8/14, please feel free to contact the transportation department at 309.968.3020.

It’s almost time for the start of the 2025-26 school year! Did you know that you can find school details on Facebook, in our app, and on our website? There are so many resources available where you will find things like daily announcements, updated calendars, teacher emails, and more!

A sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to Raider Nation and the Manito Police Department! The 3 individuals who allegedly broke into our school have been apprehended by the Manito Police Department.

We saw our community jump into immediate action, sharing our Facebook post. The swift action on your part allowed our local P.D. to very quickly get this unfortunate situation handled.

Midwest Central is RAIDER NATION PROUD! Because of this amazing community and our outstanding law enforcement we can provide a sense of security, peace, and justice to staff, students, and Raider Nation!

Raider Nation – We could use your help. Early this morning at 2:25 AM, 3 males broke into MCHS. They were in the building pilfering items in classrooms and can be seen here with backpacks they stole holding school and employee belongings. One of the backpacks belonged to a contractor doing work at the school. These individuals came through and exited the northeast corner of our back parking lot near Southmoor Ave on foot. They walked throughout the building till around 3:40 AM. They were seen leaving the back lot at 3:41 AM. We’re confident someone in the community knows who these individuals are and can help us solve this crime. If you have any information, please call the district office at 309.968.6868. You may remain anonymous.

2025 Raiders Wrestling Camps are in the books! With a total of 80+ attendees over the past two weeks this was our biggest turnout ever! Both camps were full of technique and fundamentals along with a lot of fun and team building. The future of the Midwest Central Wrestling family keeps growing! Great job putting in the hard work athletes, we’ll see you when the season starts!

Today was the last day of cross country camp. Hill day is probably the roughest day they had. Proud of the effort you all put in the last 2 weeks. Keep up the good work. Topped it off with our stop at Casey’s.

Would you like to be on the MCMS Cross Country team next school year? Save the date....

First day of cross country camp is in the books. We had 13 5th-8th grade runners and 1 HS runner attend. Discussion and training today centered around proper form and other aspects of the sport. It is still not too late to join in. We will be back at it at 7:00 tomorrow morning at the HS.
