About the Manson NW Webster Community:
Manson Northwest Webster CSD is a school that spans Calhoun and Webster Counties. Manson offers a wide array of services including two grocery stores, a pharmacy, a medical clinic, a dentist, several mechanic garages, two gas stations, a chiropractor, a fitness/community center, a dance studio, a pool, a golf course, and a Dollar General. Main Street boasts two restaurants, a bar, several salons, and small businesses as well. Manson, and the surrounding communities that make up our school district, capture the essence of small town life and values, while still looking towards a future of growth and change.
In fact, the city of Manson is currently building a new youth sports center. Additionally, Manson hosts several events throughout the year, including a holiday festival at the MAC Center, Greater Crater Days in June (which includes a parade, games, contests, and a street dance), and a yearly chili cookoff. Just a short drive west is Twin Lakes, which offers great opportunities for kayaking or fishing along with some great trails for walking or bicycling. Twin Lakes also has a summer camp that has events throughout the year for all ages.
Manson Northwest Webster, or MNW, just like its surrounding communities, encapsulates what makes a small school so special like small class sizes, dedicated teachers who have freedom over their content, supportive administrators, and community support. We know the past few years have been tough, and we've all seen some great educators leave, but at MNW, you'll find a welcoming staff that works together and provides the support you may not find at other schools. Contact one of our administrators or take a trip down our Main Street and see for yourself and see why MNW is the right choice.
