MCS parents and patrons, on or before November 30, our Sports Coop with Stapleton will be making a decision on a football declaration. We would like your input on whether to stay 8-man for the future cycles of football or drop down to 6-man. Current enrollment at both schools together is 24, putting us within either division. Our future numbers will maintain for a couple years, then would potentially begin to rise. Please contact school administration, coaches, or school board members with your thoughts before our October 14th board meeting.
