Manton Schools

The Manton Consolidated Schools Board of Education, administration, teachers and staff base our decisions on our motto, “What Ever It Takes, Manton Students Are Worth It.”  We are very proud of our school’s long standing tradition of success.  Manton Schools K-12 are school wide North Central AdvancED certified and continues to meet the standards of AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress).  In the last three years Manton has had two National Merit Scholars (top ½% of all seniors in the United States), Rachel Cross “2009” and Simon Zagata “2011”.  A third student Emily Williams, “2010” was also a National Merit Finalist.    They join many alumni that have distinguished themselves after being prepared at Manton. 

We have a wonderfully supportive community that embraces our school!  Groups like the Manton Alumni Association have built their trust fund to over $315,000 and awarded nine $2,000 scholarships to graduating seniors in the class of 2011.  Manton conducts an Outdoor Education Program that is primarily financed by a golf scramble that earns over $10,000 in one weekend in August.  The skills and challenges that 5^th, 6^th and 7^th grade students experience are an educational highlight that creates memories for life. 

Our students also learn about service by joining in projects with our Senior Center, local churches and community service organizations.  Our National Honor Society and Student Council coordinate school wide service projects such as collecting for food banks and participating in Project Christmas.  Manton Consolidated Schools family is committed to teaching both academics, and values for life.  If you have any questions or if I can be of any help please contact me at 231-824-6411 or mparsons@mantonschools.org
