The Board of Education named Mrs. Amanda Bennett as Head Principal at Del City Elementary for the 2025-2026 school year during this morning's meeting. She served as Assistant Principal this past school year for the Panthers. A proud graduate of Del City High School, Amanda has dedicated 14 years to the education field, with 9 of those years spent serving in various roles at Mid-Del Schools. Her experience includes serving as a Special Education teacher, early childhood teacher, fifth-grade teacher, school counselor, Title I Interventionist, and Assistant Principal. Amanda earned her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Special Education, as well as her Master of Science in Educational Administration, from Grand Canyon University. She is deeply committed to making a positive impact in the lives of our students and staff. In addition to her incredible professional journey, Amanda is married to Cameron Bennett, the Head Football Coach at Moore High School, and together they have two wonderful children, Aliya and Creed, who are proud Mid-Del students. We are excited to see all the amazing things Amanda will continue to accomplish as she steps into her new role! #mdpurpose

Current Mid-Del Families, It’s time to begin Phase 1 of the enrollment process for the 2025–2026 school year! Phase 1 opened at 8:00 AM on Monday, April 21, 2025, for all current Mid-Del students—especially those moving to a new school site as they advance from elementary to middle school or middle school to high school. You should have received an email on April 21 containing your child’s Snapcode, which is required to complete re-enrollment. This step allows you to verify and update your student’s information, including contact details and residency. Important: You must have your student’s Snapcode to begin. If you do not receive your Snapcode, please contact your student’s school directly. Once Phase 1 is complete, you’ll be ready for Phase 2, which begins July 15 and includes submitting your updated proof of residency. We look forward to serving your family for another great year in Mid-Del! Mid-Del Enrollment Team
