Throughout the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (MSBSD), we are living in the ancestral territory of the Dena'ina and Ahtna Peoples, and we offer our respect to their elders past and present. Mat-Su Central School (MCS) is committed to honoring the land, culture, and language of the Alaskan Native people and all Indigenous people.

Mat-Su Central, under the authority and guidance of the MSBSD, was founded and functions under the belief that choice is an important and viable option in American public education. MCS is a trauma-sensitive school, and our programs are provided for those students and families who choose an alternative to the traditional neighborhood schools. These programs are organized around the needs of students and families.

We are proud to be fully accredited by Cognia and also one of the Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools® for 2019-2020.
