Mid-Del Schools will be closed on Monday, January 20th in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. #mdpurpose #OneDistrictOneFamily
Today, Dr. Cobb met with his Student Advisory Board—made up of outstanding juniors and seniors from all three high schools—to discuss graduation requirements and the exciting course offerings they’d like to see in the future. We value our students' unique perspectives that they share monthly with Dr. Cobb.
