Manton Schools

  Welcome to the Manton Consolidated Schools web site and thank you for your interest in our school!  We have a great story to tell as you research our school and community.  One of our points of pride is that Manton Consolidated Schools are North Central/AdvancEd accredited K - 12.  We are also proud of many people in our school family like two of our 2009 graduates!  Rachel Cross is Manton's first National Merit Scholar. Drew Powell was awarded an appointment from the United States Marine Corps and will become a Commissioned Officer upon graduation from the University of Michigan.  There is a long tradition of Odyssey of the Mind (O.M.) that consistently earns the right to compete at the State and World Competitions.  Our High School O.M. Team placed 8^th in the 2009 World Finals and was awarded an OMER's Award for "demonstrating the cooperative spirit true to Odyssey of the Mind by going out of its way to help and support a fellow competitor."  The Manton Alumni Association has a foundation has accumulated over $240,000, and awards five or more $2,000 scholarships per year to graduating seniors.  All three levels of our school have made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) every year.  We have an Outdoor Education Program that is primarily financed by a golf outing that earns over $10,000 in one weekend in August that allows 5^th, 6^th and 7^th grade students tremendous experiences they may not otherwise experience. 

  Our students also learn about service.  Our Manton High School students do 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.  The M.S. Student Council collected over $1,550 of pennies for Pennies for Patients of Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Manton Consolidated Schools family is committed to teaching both the 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.
