Middleton High School juniors Ruby Clooten and Cormac Carlson have both been recognized as athletes to watch this season by the Wisconsin State Journal! 🌟

Volleyball star Ruby has developed into a true two-way threat for the Cardinals, coming off a standout sophomore season where she tallied 218 points on a .300 hitting percentage alongside 70 blocks, 52 digs, and 25 aces.

Meanwhile, soccer forward Cormac enters the year as one of the area's top offensive players after scoring 21 goals last season, using his elite ball control to help lead the Middleton Cardinals Boys Soccer team's chase for a third state championship in four years.

Middleton High School staff showed the power of the Collaboration Foundation from A Cardinal's Journey this week!

During the Cardinal Challenge, staff competed in team challenges like parking lot simulations, photo matches, free throws, and puzzles. This all culminated in a grand rock-paper-scissors tournament in the Varsity Gym.

We're grateful to our staff for engaging in these fun team-building exercises ahead of the new school year. Go Cards!

Many of our schools will host Back-to-School Nights on Aug. 26 and 27, and we're sharing a friendly reminder about our partnership with WayForward Resources and the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District Education Foundation!

We're holding food drives at each school's Back-to-School Night. Look for a donation bin at your school to drop off non-perishable food items or to scan the QR code on the bin to make a financial contribution.

It's heartbreaking that 17% of children in Dane County, including children in our schools, are food insecure. Join us in supporting WayForward Resources and the MCPASD Education Foundation, which supports the Weekend Food Program, to collect as much food as possible for families in need!

➡️ Current curricular and co-curricular opportunities
➡️ Competitive salaries and benefits to recruit and retain high-quality staff

Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations for MCPASD's Radiance Award for Distinguished Alumni!

Aug. 24 was the submission deadline, and we received strong nominations in each of the six categories. Our Selection Committee will meet this fall to evaluate the applications, and we'll introduce our inaugural class of honorees early in 2027!

School Resource Officer Jake Ungerer and Crossing Guard Rob Squires talked with WMTV 15 News about back-to-school safety this morning! They shared how MCPASD partners with law enforcement agencies, including the Middleton Police Department, to prioritize student safety.

They reminded everyone to slow down, stay alert, and look out for one another at crosswalks. They also encouraged families to practice walking the route with their students before the first day of school on Sept. 1.

We're excited for the new school year, and we appreciate our staff, families and community members working together to keep our students safe! Watch Mr. Ron's interview: https://loom.ly/UZb28WM
