Help support your local High School Seniors by contributing to the “Rooting for a Raider” Scholarship.
This is normally only supported by Midwest Central staff, but we would love to invite our community to join in. There are many seniors who are going to college or trade schools after graduation, and they need our support. If you would like to donate, you can stop by the high school any time with your donation.
All donations are very much appreciated! Thank you to everyone for the continued support in ensuring our students have a bright future!
Two local business women spoke to the students in Mrs. Frank’s business classes. Mrs. Kerley gave her first-hand experience as an entrepreneur and small business owner during Introduction to Business. Senior Consumer Management students heard Mrs. Dierker speak on the importance of investment, and her role in commercial real estate. We are thankful to these leaders in our community for sharing their time and talents with the leaders of tomorrow!
