Today marks an exciting milestone for the Margaretville Central School District as we officially accepted delivery of our new electric school bus, made possible through nearly $500,000 in New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) grant funding for the bus and charging infrastructure.
This opportunity began when former Head Bus Driver, Beth Smith, encouraged the district to pursue the grant opportunity. With the support of the Board of Education, partnership with Leonard Bus Sales, and approval from our voters, that vision became a reality today.
Special thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, including Board President Doris Warner and Board Member Kent Brown, who were on hand to welcome the bus upon delivery.
This is a great example of innovation, collaboration, and forward thinking for our students and community!

Today, we were proud to celebrate these outstanding students alongside their families. We look forward to honoring the entire Class of 2026 at Graduation on Saturday, June 27 at 1:30 p.m. 🎉
For more than 20 years, the DCMO BOCES Scholar Recognition Program has honored outstanding high school seniors across the region for their academic achievement, leadership, character, and dedication to their school communities. Each student scholar also recognizes a mentor who has made a meaningful impact on their educational journey.
This well-deserved recognition reflects Brianna’s hard work, perseverance, and commitment to excellence both inside and outside the classroom. MCS is incredibly proud of all you have accomplished and the positive example you continue to set for others.
A special thank you to mentor Erin Cure for the guidance, encouragement, and support provided throughout Brianna’s journey. The influence of strong mentorship helps inspire confidence, growth, and success.
We celebrate not only this outstanding honor, but also the bright future ahead. Keep striving, keep leading, and keep making a difference, Brianna! 🌟👏
