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!

The Central Gym Educational Facility was busy last week as MSD of Steuben County collaborated with Nextech to host an interactive workshop focused on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings. The event brought together educators from three different school districts. During the workshop, participants engaged in discussions about the potential of AI and had valuable time to interact directly with various AI platforms, exploring how these tools could be effectively utilized in the classroom.

This week, students from across our district came together at Carlin Park for our summer school program. Focused on strengthening reading skills and setting our elementary learners up for success, these sessions are an important part of our commitment to student growth. A huge thank you to our dedicated and passionate teachers—this program wouldn’t be possible without your incredible efforts!

Our incredible MSDSC educators showcased their dedication to leading and learning yesterday at Trine University's "Storm Into Summer" Conference! We're so proud that more than 10 of our teachers presented in breakout sessions, sharing their expertise and insights with colleagues. An amazing 25+ of our staff attended, soaking up new knowledge and strategies! Check out these action shots of our teachers in full swing! While we couldn't capture everyone, it was truly an inspiring day of professional growth. A huge thank you to Trine University for organizing such an incredibly organized and inspiring event!

Support is available all summer long!

Congrats, Class of 2025!!

Congratulations, Class of 2025!

Even during summer break, our amazing teachers and staff are hard at work. This week, some spent time learning new strategies to bring into the classroom, while others trained to help keep our schools and students safe. 👩‍🏫👮‍♂️💡 We’re so proud of their dedication—learning never takes a vacation!

We honor those today who sacrificed and served.

The Class of 2025 will celebrate their graduation on Friday, May 30th at 7:00 PM. In addition to the main ceremony, many students have already participated in special graduations recognizing their achievements within specific career pathways. On May 16th, eleven students were awarded certificates they had earned in the Fire Safety Pathway. Additionally, five seniors took part in Impact Institute’s Signing Day, a special event that honors students who have completed their pathways and committed to continuing their education. Congratulation to all!
