At Midview High School, students in the micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) program are actively learning to operate microelectronic equipment and perfecting their cleanroom procedures.
In the MEMS pathway, students create tiny integrated devices that combine mechanical and electrical components. These devices, which are used in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment, are developed in a cleanroom. A cleanroom is a highly controlled environment designed to minimize pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, and aerosol particles, ensuring the highest level of cleanliness for sensitive manufacturing processes.
Yesterday, Mrs. Clarke's 4th-grade class dove into the world of vertebrates—animals with backbones or vertebral columns—during their science lesson! Students teamed up to complete a scavenger hunt, exploring fact cards about a variety of vertebrates, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. 🐋🐸🦎🦒🦜
5th graders in Mrs. Kauffman's class are completing the longest paper plate STEM transformation challenge: How long can you make one paper plate by cutting it in creative ways? The current record is an impressive 52.4 feet, set by Amelia Nelson last year!
"SAVE SAM!" 🪱 This second-grade science challenge in Mrs. Kiser's classroom served as the kick-off to their Scientist Academy training, which focuses on developing the essential skills needed to become a scientist. Students practiced working cooperatively through a tricky problem to reach a solution. And, of course, learning is even sweeter when it involves gummy worms!

THANK YOU to all the community vendors, Middie groups, and families who joined us for our Back-to-School Rally last week! We look forward to this event every year, and we hope everyone had as much fun as we did. With just a few more days until the start of the 2024-25 school year, we’re excited to kick off the new year with such a fantastic community behind us!
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
The Class of 2025 has officially kicked off their senior year with the tradition of painting their parking spots! 🎨🚗
The Friday Night Lights will shine even more brightly as we cheer on our Middies and celebrate the completion of our track and field! After a week of final touches, including striping the track and assembling the video scoreboard, we are thrilled to finally share the finished product with our community.

Hi, Freshmen 👋! The Link Crew warmly welcomed the 9th Grade Class to MHS on August 21.
Freshmen Orientation is all about helping students transition smoothly into high school. They got to explore the school, pick up their schedules, go over important policies, and ask any questions they had about the year ahead. Plus, they had a blast participating in a mix of large and small group activities, guided by our amazing senior and junior Link Crew leaders. We hope they’re excited and ready for a fantastic four years!
Last week, we welcomed our 7th graders to Midview Middle School for a fun and informative Orientation day designed to help them adjust to their new environment and boost their confidence for the first day. Students participated in team-building exercises, practiced locker combinations (we all know how difficult those are at first!), went over expectations, received their schedules, and learned about the different clubs and activities available at MMS.
Earlier this week, the Mochan Family from D&A Armory made a special delivery of school supplies for our Stuff the Bus Initiative!
Drop-off boxes are located at Albert’s Market (460 Main St.) and the Midview Bus Garage (37901 Capel Rd.) now through August 18 during regular business hours. Additionally, from August 16-18, a bus will be stationed at Albert’s Market to continue collecting donations for Middie families in need and to officially “stuff the bus”! Learn more about how you can contribute here: https://www.midviewk12.org/article/1696948
The start of the 2024-25 school year is just a few weeks away! View our "Back-to-School Guide" for important dates and information leading up to September 3! https://secure.smore.com/n/phb7q
Save the date for our Back-to-School Rally! 🎉 🎈 ALL district families (grades PK-12) are invited to kick off the 2024-25 school year with us during this fun event, which includes:

Midview High School and Oberlin High School joined forces on Wednesday for the first part of their student exchange program called SWAP (Students Working to Achieve Perspective). Planned collaboratively by Midview’s L.O.V.E (Let Our Voices Emerge) Club, Oberlin’s Student Council, and each school’s administrators, the SWAP Day aimed to create camaraderie and build community between the two schools.
Oberlin students were greeted by the Midview High School band and our AFJROTC. The day kicked off with donuts and introductions, followed by guided tours of the building, class sit-ins, team-building activities, lunch, and meaningful conversations about each school’s similarities and differences as they apply to programs, culture, and community.
Midview L.O.V.E. Club students will visit Oberlin on April 23! We hope to continue to expand the SWAP to involve additional schools next year.
Our 5th and 6th grade students have been hard at work designing and building 18 upcycled mini-golf holes for our upcoming Elementary STEM Night on April 25! A "Coding Crew" has even been meeting after school to learn how to bring elements of each hole to life using Hummingbird Robotics Kits (funded by the Ohio STEM Learning Network grant East received last year)!
In addition to the mini golf course, this exciting evening of STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) exploration will also include:
- Activity stations such as milk jug and plastic bottle sun catchers, cereal box flowers, junk necklaces, plastic bag friendship bracelets, & seed bombs
- West 3rd Grade Invention Convention projects
- PLTW class showcase
- informational math sessions
- a green screen for photo opportunities
- a Lorain County Waste Management informational table
Second-grade participated in a glow learning experience! Using black lights, glow sticks, decorations, invisible pens, hats, and game materials funded through a Ross Foundation, Inc. grant, students and staff enjoyed a BRIGHT and fun-filled day of English Language Arts, reading, and math activities.
Students following our Micro-electromechanical Systems (MEMS) career pathway recently had an opportunity to engage with professionals from Intel and Rockwell Automation! They were able to gain insights into the operations of each company, further discover the practical application of their classroom knowledge, explore potential career paths and opportunities, and inquire about various aspects of the industry.
Through the MEMS pathway, students manually produce tiny integrated devices or systems that combine mechanical and electrical components. These devices are found in many electronics, pharmaceutical products, and medical equipment!
