While the middle schoolers, from Manly, Nora Springs, and the other half of the elementary kids originating near the Nora Springs, Rock Falls, and Portland area go to school in the Nora Springs building. Until 8th grade then they go to Manly where the High School is located.[11] The school colors are black and blue, the mascot being a panther.[12] The school song is the M. S. U. School Song, shortened so that the cheerleaders can dance to it.
