Medina Public School District 3

UPDATED 6/20/2024: The Medina Booster Club and Medina City Park are working together to build a new community building/gymnasium. This building will be used for youth sports practices, and will be available to rent for community and family events. Funding for the project will come from grants and donations from community members, MPS alumni, businesses, vendors, and fraternal organizations. As you can see, many contributions have already been pledged or given, but it’s not too late to be a part of this worthwhile addition to our community. Contact one of the following committee members to make your pledge/donation today. Thank you for your support! Matt Carlson @ 368-9339 Scott Moser @ 269-6348 Jeremy Schmidt @ 320-1663 Trevor Wick @ 226-9891

As a community, we continue to find strategies to promote positive mental health. This book has been referenced during many discussions about mental health.

We will be hosting a groundbreaking ceremony for our new classroom addition on Wednesday, July 3 at 3:00 PM. All are welcome. We are excited to begin this project! The addition will provide four classrooms and four breakout spaces for collaboration and small group activities. The new addition will be located southwest of the existing school and is expected to be complete in time for the 2025-2026 school year.
