Good Afternoon Bulldog Nation!
We want to take a minute to recognize our amazing custodians on Custodian Appreciation Day.
Our custodians do so much more than keep our buildings clean. They take tremendous pride in caring for the spaces where our students learn, our staff work, and our community gathers. Their work is visible every time someone walks through our doors, attends a ball game, comes to a school event, or simply notices how well our facilities are cared for.
We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and pride our custodians put into maintaining our schools for our students, staff, and community.
Thank you for taking such good care of Bulldog Nation!
🐾💛🖤 Happy Custodian Appreciation Day! 🖤💛🐾

We have filled our open JV football date on October 5, with Bluestem playing at Bluestem 6 o’clock start.
Friday night's Home varsity football game will be a pink out so don't forget to wear your pink!

Today's home JH Football game vs. NLC will begin at 5 PM, the same time as volleyball, to avoid any weather-related delays.

Students from Mr. Redeker's medical studies and anatomy and physiology classes visited Newman Regional Health to job shadow in OB, ED, Pharmacy, Radiology, PT, Maintenance, Oncology and Orthopedics.
If you see them, ask them about their experience.

Livestream for the Bulldogs' home football game can be accessed via the school website at the Livestream link or by visiting the Bulldog Broadcasting YouTube page Live Videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@BulldogBroadcasting2026/streams
Happy HoCo!

Protecting our Madison High family starts before we even leave the driveway!
The SAFE team recently completed our baseline driving survey, and while we're off to a solid start, we have room to grow. 79% of our drivers and passengers were belted (the lowest it's ever been).
That means 1 in 5 people in our school community is riding unprotected. We know life gets busy, and trips are short, but a single click makes all the difference.
Parents and teens, let's make a pact this school year: no one shifts into drive until everyone is buckled up.
Let's work together to bring that number to 100%!
