Superintendent Rusty Ragon, accompanied by Assistant Principal Vince Perillo, Athletic Director Gina Burlison, and site Superintendent Jeff Dvork, recently conducted a tour of the new MJHS building. During the tour, they had the pleasure of meeting Chad Stoner, a Manhattan local who is contributing to the project as a skilled carpenter/foreman. Chad's personal story is truly inspiring as he resides in the area and is now fulfilling a successful career in construction right here in Manhattan. This tour was a reflection of the dedicated efforts of everyone involved in making this project a reality. We're thrilled about the new MJHS and all the possibilities it holds!

Our 2nd graders enjoyed a visit from the Manhattan Fire Department for Fire Safety Month. Exploring the truck and ambulance is always a highlight. Today's visit was even more exciting because one of the firefighters attended Wilson Creek when it opened!
