May 15 - Senior Spotlight - Madison Students Featured on the What Schools Could be Podcast! On Wednesday, May 15th, from 7:30 p.m. – 8:45 p.m., Madison seniors have been invited to share their experiences with the Mastery Learning Transcript Learning Record on the What School Could Be Podcast. What School Could Be is a networking site for schools and educational professionals designed and spearheaded by Ted Dintersmith, Madison High School graduate of 1970, and this year’s graduation speaker. This school year, a small pilot of Madison students created the competencies, then curated and sent Mastery Transcript Learning Records to colleges as part of their college application process. In the coming year, we will be expanding the pilot to include more Madison students.
If you are interested in learning more about the Mastery Learning Transcript Learning Record and hearing about the program from Madison students, join us on the podcast! Register here.

One School | One Community | One World
Madison High School strives to create and maintain an identity affirming learning environment where our students embrace, support, and encourage each other where multiple forms of identity (i.e. race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or disability) are recognized and regarded as assets for teaching and learning. We work to ensure school is a place where students feel safe and can be themselves. We do not tolerate hate speech, racist speech, bias, or acts of discrimination in our school. We want all students to feel a sense of belonging. We want to see all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to learning, growing, and building the best Madison High School for all our students. We are One School - One Community - One World.
