Bookmaking Experience on 8/28/26 with Joezet. Students learned what a book is, how it conveys knowledge, and questioned the status quo now and in the past. They learned about China’s cultural revolution through the art work titled Book from the Sky and the artist Chu Bing.
Students then made their own 4 whole stab bound book called Yotusme Toji. What an awesome day!!

Nick has officially claimed the MNCS Advisory Belt from Dakota after a fierce, high stakes battle of Rock, Paper, Scissors. No training, no equipment, just nerves of steel and questionable hand gestures. Congratulations, Nick!

Please welcome our new Paraprofessional at MNCS - Jacob Sparrow!! About Jacob: Well, I am a MNCS Alumni that has always seen MNCS as the best home I’ve ever had. I am honored that I was able to grow up in that environment and with the people at the school that I did. I am even more honored to be back at the school and be able to work with some of those same amazing people as colleagues, as well as the rest of the staff, most of which I just met. I was raised by a single mother who dragged me to the area so she could finish her masters at MNSU. At that time I started at MNCS as a 7th grader and instantly felt welcome and that I could do great things here. Some stuff about my personal life, I have the cutest dog in the world, not biased at all, a Wheaton Terrier named Autumn. I spend way to much time at the mall in Mankato. I love spending most my free time with friends and loved ones. And I love the Simpsons. The Simpsons live stream is dangerous for me. I even leave it on for my dog to watch when Im gone. I also am a bit of a star Trek and Doctor Who nerd. I am also a bit of a gamer. The Arkham series and Skyrim are some of my favorites. I cant believe I am able to come back to this wonderful school and help the kids here like all the staff did for me growing up
This is really great! Hometown Bank in Henderson is having a drawing to give an MNCS Teacher $150.00 worth of school supplies from their wish list for the 26-27 school year. Please go to Hometown Bank's Facebook page and nominate your favorite MNCS Advisor, and they could win $150 worth of supplies :)

Meet our new MNCS High School Advisor Joezet Shirley Schrag!!
I am excited to join your community as a student advisor at the High School. From a young age my grandparents instilled a passion for exploration, conservation, inquiry and confidence to find my voice. As a parent and educator I want to help students find their voice, reach their goals and discover possibilities. I graduated from College of the Visual Arts in 1999 with a Bachelor in Fine Arts. From there I worked in outdoor education in northern MN, California and Michigan. Coming home I worked at Montessori school with little ones who taught me how busy they really are. I enjoyed and was privileged to teach art at Farview Park in Minneapolis. The students taught me resilience, kindness and the definition of community. I completed a Masters in Art education k-12 in 2025. At home my husband and I have a beautiful silly 8th grader. Becoming a parent I’ve learned how to support her, identify her needs, advocate for her education and watched her soar past goals becoming a wonderful person. I look forward to learning from all of you and your students, about your culture, traditions, ambitions and where you think your students need help. I am looking forward to returning all the energy teachers have brought to our family over the years. Enjoying Summer Days!
Let's give Joezet a huge MNCS Welcome!!!
