MSD of Steuben County

Can you believe school starts next week?! Our new teachers have been busy over the past few days learning the ins and outs of MSDSC. We’re super excited to welcome them to the team and can’t wait for a great year ahead!

As we prepare to start a new school year, we want to take a moment to thank all the local businesses that support our schools. Whether it’s through partnerships that create opportunities for our students and staff, generous donations to our sports teams and clubs, providing jobs and valuable experiences to our students, attending school events, or proudly displaying our logo in your windows — THANK YOU!
We are proud to be a part of such an amazing community.
If you are a local business that wants to show your pride in Angola schools and did not get the opportunity to get an “A” please email sdowd@msdsc.us
Go Hornets!

Principals and administration could not hide their excitement today as they came together to collaborate and prepare for the upcoming school year! We are super excited to see the impact their leadership will have this year.

Our school corporation is fortunate to have two incredible School Resource Officers working tirelessly to keep our district safe. Here's a glimpse of what our officers have been up to this summer:
Officer Bill Lanoue joined forces with multiple agencies across Steuben County this week for the Steuben County Active Threat Exercise. This critical training brought together law enforcement, fire departments, and EMS teams to enhance our coordinated emergency response capabilities.
Officer Brian Noll is bringing a special new partner to our schools! Meet Riggs, a 12-week-old German Shorthaired Pointer who has been training hard alongside Officer Noll. 🐕 Riggs will be at Officer Noll's side as he learns crucial socialization skills. As he grows, he'll eventually be trained in narcotic detection and tracking.
We're incredibly proud to partner with Steuben County in these vital preparedness efforts and excited to welcome Riggs to our school family. Together, we're committed to keeping our students, staff, and entire community safe.
Thank you to our SROs for everything you do! 👏

Our district administrators and staff were busy planning how to introduce new policies and procedures for the upcoming school year. The goal is to make the start of the year as smooth as possible. We can't wait to see everyone!

MSDSC's schools are small communities built on respect, friendship, and a unified vision for our students. Carlin Park exemplifies that spirit perfectly!
This year, Joan Sanborn—who has been a beloved staple in our school system since 1986—decided to retire. To thank all the teachers and staff for the wonderful years they've shared together, she treated them to something truly special. Joan arranged for the teachers to create their own glass ornaments with the help of Left Brain Hot Glass!
The students were able to watch and learn about glass blowing as John Rath guided the teachers and staff through creating their personalized ornaments. This incredible experience left the students absolutely mesmerized and gave the staff a beautiful memento to remember Joan and their time together.
What a perfect way to celebrate the bonds that make our school community so special!
Thank you Joan for years of dedication to our schools, you will be missed!

Wishing everyone a safe and fun 4th of July weekend!
We were super excited to kick off the day with the Angola Parade. This year, one of our incredible teachers, Allison Miller, had the honor of serving as Grand Marshal—a well-deserved recognition as the Chamber of Commerce’s Educator of the Year. Congratulations, Allison!

The Angola Marching Hornets proudly continued the tradition of marching in the parade—great job, Hornets! It was also wonderful to see our schools represented on the fire trucks.

We’re so proud to be part of such a strong and supportive community. ❤️💙

Throwback Thursday! Here’s a peek at some of the awesome learning that happened last year. At Pleasant Lake Montessori, students get to create their own learning experiences using a wide variety of hands-on materials. So much fun and discovery packed into every day!

Congratulations to Mr. Jonathan Winslow, Director of Elementary Education, on his nomination for Outstanding Educational Leadership. Mr. Winslow was recognized at the Keep Indiana Learning conference where he shared about the excellent work of teachers at the MSDSC!

Role Reversal! 🍎📚 Last week, teachers and staff from AHS and AMS took a turn in the student seat during a day of training. Lisa Gardner from ThinkCERCA led the session, walking everyone through the new English curriculum. Exciting things are ahead for our students!

#ThrowbackThursday bring you exciting activities that happened last school year! In our elementary schools, even small groups get to take on BIG projects! 💡 Mrs. Antos’ focus group completed a creative, real-world learning project. Each student chose a state park they'd love to visit on a school trip. From there, they researched educational opportunities at the park, calculated the cost (transportation, food, lodging, etc.), and created detailed presentations proposing their trip. Students presented their ideas to staff and even a few of our school board members! This project helped build skills in research, writing, budgeting, and public speaking—and they had a blast doing it! 👏🏽🌲🚌 What a great way to learn by doing!

Even in the summer, our awesome teachers are putting in the work! Last week, elementary and high school teachers got together to collaborate and plan lessons for the upcoming school year. We’re so lucky to have such a dedicated team getting things ready for our students!
