Manson High School was selected as the smallest school in a highly competitive field to receive a $100,000 grant from Microsoft, a major recognition of our school and staff! A team of Manson teachers and administrators recently traveled to the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington to attend the AI conference and grant-kick off event! With this grant, Manson will develop a project focused on building student responsibility, resourcefulness, and resilience with AI as a support tool in high school. Manson’s goal is to prepare graduates to use AI ethically, safely, and responsibly as part of their future education, careers, and daily life!
Last week's Talent Show at Manson Elementary was awesome! Thank you Mrs. Whitney for organizing this event and inspiring our students. Each 4th and 5th grade performer was so brave and talented. Many different styles of dances were performed, several instruments were beautifully played; a science experiment was masterfully conducted; and the event was hosted by the one and only Owen Steiner (5th grade) who shared classic knee-slapping jokes between performances. What a fun night. Below are a few pictures of just some of our performances.
Manson School District buildings will be closed on Monday, February 16, in observance of the President's Day holiday.
See you on Tuesday, February 17th!

It’s quick, confidential, and makes a real difference. Thank you for helping support our students and our school community!
