Meet Jessica Herndon, driver of Bus #3! Jessica first joined Midwest Central as a school bus monitor, serving in that role for four years before deciding to take the next step and train to become a school bus driver. She is now in her second year behind the wheel and enjoys the opportunity to serve students and families each day.
When asked what she enjoys most about being a bus driver, Jessica shared that she loves hearing the stories from both students and co-workers.
Like many drivers, one of Jessica's biggest challenges is dealing with traffic and distracted drivers. This year, she's looking forward to a year filled with safe rides, happy faces, good mornings, and lots of smiles.
Thank you, Jessica, for your dedication to our students and for helping make every bus ride a safe and positive experience!

Good luck to our Cross-Country team as they head to Elmwood on October 3.
They fix things we've broken. They clean things we've spilled. They move things we've misplaced. And somehow they always know where the ladder is.
Today we celebrate the team that keeps Midwest Central looking great and running smoothly.
Thank you for all you do behind the scenes each and every day!
Seven teams competed for gift card prizes while testing their knowledge in categories such as In Social Studies Class, Pop Culture History, and a student favorite, MCHS Staff History. In that category, staff members submitted photos and facts from their high school years, and students had to guess who they were!
Congratulations to our 1st place team: Kayleigh, Amelia, Jaxson, and Malachi!
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the evening a success. We look forward to seeing what History League has planned next!

If you are unable to come on Wednesday morning, you may also purchase your tickets at the High School office following the initial sale.
Tickets for the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday show performances will be available at the door each night. The show begins at 7:30 PM at the Forman Center.
Students enjoyed food, music, games, and the opportunity to connect with new friends from another school. While the activities were fun, the best part was bringing together students who share the same mission of "Community Above Self."
We are grateful for the opportunity to build new relationships and look forward to future events that will benefit our schools and communities. Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening a success!
