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.
