Dear Raider Parents and Guardians,
The safety and security of our students has been, and continues to be, a top priority at Midwest Central CUSD #191. We have worked diligently over the past few years to improve our protocols and procedures, harden facilities, increase communications with stakeholders and strengthen our partnership with law enforcement.
In order for our safety efforts to be truly successful, we need your help. Please talk to your child about the importance of alerting law enforcement or district administration immediately about any threats of violence or safety concerns at school.
One easy way to report safety concerns is through the state’s new confidential reporting platform, Safe2Help Illinois, which is staffed 24/7 by trained help line professionals. When someone reports an urgent threat through this platform, phone calls are immediately made to a District level team who then notify specific school officials and develop a plan of action. A Safe2Help button is located on the front page of our website, www.MidwestCentral.org, and will direct you to a site providing you several options for making reports.
Over the past month, there have been instances of rumors and misinformation spreading amongst students or on social media before it was reported to school officials or authorities. In these instances information was reported days or weeks after the triggering incident. What transpired as a result was damaging information being shared publicly and doubts being cast that the district is not addressing the situation.
I assure you Midwest Central CUSD #191 will always take any threat or safety concern seriously. For instance, each situation that has occurred over the past month has been investigated and determined to not be credible. If a threat ever is credible, I promise you would hear directly about the incident from us.
To close, we have wonderful students, caring staff and supportive families in our communities. Let’s all work together and keep the lines of communication open.
Thank you for your patience and support,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel

A note from Coach Brittany: The season ended with a fighting loss against Macomb… but this season was anything but a loss!
Long lasting memories were embedded, friendships were built and nurtured, new experiences happened, passion fostered and growth in all the ways: mentally, physically and emotionally.
I want to personally thank administration, teachers, community and parents for the constant love and support for our organization.
And to the players, sports are one of life’s great joys. The time, effort, sweat, tears, happiness, frustration, excitement… the early EARLY mornings and the late LATE nights… the reps upon reps upon reps… the life lessons and skills… always looking to be 1 degree better at a time… win one point at a time… viewing only ourselves as our competition… together.
It was truly a season for the books! I know I speak for Coach Sidwell and myself when I say, it was such an honor and will continue to be an honor to be a part of your lives not only IN season, but also in life!
To those leaving us, this isn’t goodbye! You will be TRULY missed! To those freshman-juniors and INCOMING 8th graders, we will see you next season!!! 🤍🏐 #LadyRaiders

We are so proud of these four Raiders!! They have been working hard in their welding classes at ICC Pekin Campus. These young men have represented MCHS well. Their instructor is very proud of their skills, and their willingness to learn more.
The welding program at ICC gives our students the opportunity to earn a production welder certificate through Illinois Central College by learning gas metal arc welding processes, and to earn credits toward a welding operator certificate. This opportunity is for seniors; current juniors- if you are interested, see Mrs. Harbourn!!!
