Student voices matter in Mid-Del!
Yesterday, Dr. Cobb’s Superintendent Student Advisory Board (SAB) held its first meeting of the school year. This diverse group of juniors and seniors—10 from each high school- represents Carl Albert, Del City, and Midwest City High Schools.
Students shared feedback on important topics like plans for the Senior Conference, technology, school safety, and their goals for the year. Their insight is invaluable, and Dr. Cobb always makes it a priority to listen to the voices of our students.
The SAB students will be hosting a District-Wide leadership conference for the spring semester to include students from all three high schools. We are excited to kick off the year with these student leaders who are actively involved in a wide range of activities across our schools.

Parents and Guardians,

We are excited to welcome our students back for a great school year! If you have not yet started your online enrollment, please know that your child will not be allowed to attend class or school until the enrollment process is complete.

If enrollment is completed today after 4:00 p.m., your child will still not be able to attend class tomorrow. This is because we need at least 24 hours to review and verify all documents, and during the school day, our focus will be on supporting the students already in the building.

Completing your online enrollment as soon as possible will make sure your child has a smooth start and does not miss valuable instructional time.

Thank you for your prompt attention and for partnering with us to make this school year a success! #mdpurpose

Today, members of our Mid-Del team trained on our brand-new digital scoreboard systems!

Your support helps us keep moving forward for our students, athletes, and fans! #OneDistrictOneFamily #mdpurpose

Today, Dr. Cobb visited our Maintenance team to thank them for all of their hard work over the summer.

This phenomenal crew keeps our schools running smoothly, often working behind the scenes where the public may not see them, but always ready to step in when they’re needed most. From repairs to upgrades, they’ve been busy making sure our buildings are ready to welcome students and staff.

We appreciate everything they do and look forward to another amazing school year together! #OneDistrictOneFamily #mdpurpose

Today, Dr. Cobb stopped by to thank our Student Accounting team for their dedication and hard work this summer.
