MSD of Steuben County

#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!

Today, the Class of 2025 walked the halls of AHS one last time. The morning began with the traditional Legacy Walk through the high school, followed by visits to their former elementary schools. Seniors then took a few final loops around the mound by bus. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, the traditional stop on the mound for photos had to be canceled. The celebration continued with a visit to the middle school, then back to the high school for a group photo. Graduation rehearsal concluded the morning’s events. The Graduation Ceremony will be held on Friday, May 30th at 7:00 PM. We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of the Class of 2025!

Thank you to our amazing Speech Pathologists!
