Check out this video showcasing one of the exciting pathways available to our students—this one highlights the Manufacturing Pathway and SACA certification.
SACA certifications go beyond the basics, equipping students with hands-on skills that translate directly into internships, careers, and real-world confidence working with industry equipment.

The skyline looks a little different today—our Angola Hornet is now proudly watching over the town from the water tower.
A huge thank you to retired Water Superintendent Tom Selman, who envisioned this project, as well as to the City of Angola for its continued support of our schools. We also extend our appreciation to Angola Engineering, MS4, and the many other departments that helped bring this vision to life.

Excitement filled the room as students entered, happily chatting about the books they had just read and the ones they were eager to pick up next. Questions like, ā€œWhere are the pigeon books?ā€ and ā€œCan you help me find a book about dinosaurs?ā€ rang out as students scattered through the shelves, placeholders in hand, searching for their next great read.

It’s clear just how special this space is. Once their books were selected, students lined up to check them out, excitedly sharing details about their new stories with the librarian. Afterward, they settled in for a few quiet moments of reading—some sharing with friends, others getting lost in their books.

It is clear just how special this space is. So during School Library Appreciation Month, we celebrate our school libraries and our caring and knowledgeable librarians who lead them.

Bus Incident Update:
MSD of Steuben County’s foremost obligation is the safety of our students while at school, at activities, and while transporting them. We expect and demand that all of our employees perform diligently and appropriately to fulfill that obligation. When staff does not, corrective measures must and will be taken.

As previously shared, on April 6, 2026, an MSD of Steuben County school bus was involved in an accident on South County Road 300 East. Both the bus driver, Jennie Hammond, and the student were transported to Cameron Hospital immediately following the accident. Both individuals were treated at the hospital for pain and released the same day.
As part of the corporation’s internal review conducted shortly after the accident, bus safety video shows Ms. Hammond using a cell phone while driving. The bus driver’s use of her cell phone while driving violated school corporation rules. The school corporation is
cooperating fully with local law enforcement and its investigation. Earlier today, the bus driver’s employment with MSD of Steuben County was terminated.
The corporation is committed to maintaining the safety and well-being of all of our students and will take all appropriate steps necessary to properly respond to this incident.

Your perspectives will help shape decisions that support student success and strengthen our schools. Students in grades 5-12 will be asked to complete the student survey while at school. Check out our video for more details about the process and why we need to hear from you.

Thank you to our K–12 Assistant Principals for your leadership, support, and dedication to our schools. Your work often happens behind the scenes, but the impact you make on our students, staff, and school community is seen and appreciated every day.  Thank you for all that you do!

April 4th is National School Librarian Appreciation Day! Our librarians do so much more than manage our libraries; they’re the first contact with technical issues, assist in classrooms, and cover recess and pitch in whenever they are needed. Their dedication to our schools and students is appreciated every day. Be sure to thank them when we return from spring break!

12 days ago, MSD of Steuben County
Your passion for reading and your exceptional technical expertise inspire curiosity, support learning, and help keep our schools running smoothly. We are grateful for the dedication and enthusiasm you bring to our students and staff each day.
Today is National School Instructional Assistant Day, and even though we are on spring break, we did not want the day to pass without saying thank you! Whether it is at the pick-up line, in the classroom, or out on the playground, our instructional assistants are always there for our students and teachers. Their dedication is a tremendous asset to our schools. We look forward to celebrating them in person when we return from break.
