  Welcome to Manton Consolidated Schools. It is great to be in a school where the Board of Education is committed to student  centered decisions. Manton has outstanding, dedicated teachers, staff, and administration that are willing to do what it takes to help our students be successful. The community of Manton has long demonstrated its support to the students and school by valuing education, providing buildings (come look at our building and athletic complex) and materials to the Board of Education.

  There are many great things happening at Manton Consolidated Schools along with our commitment to core instruction. Manton is proud to be North Central Accredited at each of our three building levels. The elementary, middle and high school all met the criteria for No Child Left Behind, Adequate Yearly Progress, for the 2007 - 2008 school year. The High School and Elementary Schools earned a "B" and the Middle School received an "A" by the State of Michigan. We are very proud of our growing Band Program and we continue to offer Art and state of the art technology. Co-curricular activities include Odyssey of the Mind (High School State Champions and four time World Qualifiers), Boys and Girls Track Teams that each were third in the State Team Championships, District Champion Girls Softball, an eighth grade trip to Chicago, a senior trip to New York, a full week of outdoor education for all 6th grade students along with over night outdoor education experiences for all 5th and 7th grade students.

  The community of Manton's support is outstanding! The local Rotary provides at least two leadership scholarships each year and this summer planted 10 flowering plum trees on our campus. At the Outdoor Education Golf Scramble, in August, over $10,000 is raised annually to help pay for the Outdoor Education Program. The Alumni Association has a foundation of over $240,000 that provides scholarships to graduating seniors. The class of 2008 received six $2,000 scholarships.

  Come join us in a school family that is good for children of all ages, including me. If you have any questions or want to learn more about our school, please call or stop in.
