Hello Parents,
If your in-person or remote learning student(s) need additional teacher support, please keep in mind that our teachers are available every weekday from 2:00 - 3:00 PM for all students. Your student(s) are welcome to stay after school and get in-person learning support. This is especially helpful if they’ve been absent from a quarantine. Please take advantage of this time by having you or your student arrange with a teacher or teachers to stay after school. We’re also running courtesy bus routes at 3:00 PM to take these students home.
Dr. Hellrigel

Jacy Watts signed her official commitment letter today to attend UIS next year to play softball. Jacy has been a key player for the Lady Raiders throughout her HS softball career. She currently holds the school records in season and career homeruns for Midwest Central. This was done within the first 2 years of her HS career due to her Junior year being cut short due to the COVID shut down. She still has her senior year to build upon those numbers. Midwest Central congratulates Jacy in her accomplishments and wishes her the best in the future.
