The MJHS baseball and softball fields were dedicated in memory of former Manhattan 114 Board of Education member, Dan De Caprio today.

As a dedicated educator, coach, and sports fan, he was an unwavering champion of teachers, coaches, and athletics for our schools.
Last week, MJHS hosted the first Athletic Expectation Night of the year for our Cross Country, Softball, and Baseball teams. We wish all of our athletes and coaches good luck as their seasons begin this year! Go Demons! 💙👟🥎⚾️

We were honored to welcome local politicians, leaders, Manhattan 114 retirees, representatives from other school districts, and members of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and community to our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. We joined with STR Partners and Pepper Construction to celebrate the completion of the MJHS building project and look ahead to the next chapter for the school district.
MJHS Grand Opening Day began with and event for our junior high staff and their families. As many reminded us throughout the day, while the walls and spaces are beautiful, the people inside the building make it so special. The staff enjoyed seeing their completed spaces and exploring the building with their families.
We were thrilled by the turnout for the MJHS Community Open House! Community members enjoyed refreshments, guided tours provided by staff and students, a display of our district's history, and captured the excitement of the day at the photo booth.
