District Update - May 21

Superintendent's Message
High school graduation is an incredible achievement and a significant milestone in life. This Friday, May 26, Midview Local Schools will once again celebrate an impressive group of young adults.
Watching the Class of 2023 grow up in Midview Local Schools has been an honor. As superintendent, there is great pride in watching students come of age within our school, and this class is certainly no exception. Each member of the Class of 2023 has endured, prospered, and proven that hard work and dedication can pay off dividends.
We have watched these students succeed in the classroom, in the fields of play, in the arts, and in our community. And we have witnessed firsthand their growth in knowledge, life skills, career skills, habits, and traits that are critically important to success in today’s world.
To the Class of 2023, I say congratulations. I also would like to thank each of you for providing our community with memories, being role models to our younger students, and showing us all time and time again what it means to be a Middie.
Take care,
Dr. Willingham
