Administrative Council consists of the principal and assistant principals, the Chairman of each  department, and coordinators of special programs.  The Administrative Council advises the Principal in matters of  policies and strategies.   As a group they are responsible  for communicating  between administration and staff members.

Budget Committee  includes representatives from each department who may or may not be the Department Chair.  The committee evaluates campus and departmental requests for funding for capital, M&O and bond funds and makes the final determination as to budget amounts.

Curriculum Committee is chaired by the Assistant Principal in charge of Registration and is comprised of one member from each department as well as a parent and one or more students.  The group makes recommendations to the District Curriculum committee regarding 1. proposals for new class offerings school and district wide; and 2. courses to be deleted from the course catalog.

School Improvement (formerly known as North Central) is co-chaired by two teachers and consists of teachers, staff, parents, community members, students, and administrators. The committee's mission is to oversee the administration and implementation of the school's mission statement and school improvement goals.

Subcommittees of School Improvement are charged with implementing the goals developed by the school community as a whole under  the auspices of School Improvement. 

Technology Committee includes representatives from each department.  The committee is chaired by the Site Technology Director (audiovisual/computer coordinator).  The committee evaluates the campus technology needs; approves expenditures for  technology; and distributes equipment and supplies.

Staff Assistance provides assistance to MdN family members during a time of emergency, illness, or financial need.   With a theme of "We are Family" the Staff Assistance Committee also sends cards or flowers for all births, deaths and weddings.  They also offer assistance in providing food, transportation, or any other possible methods of   aiding a family member.  The committee's main source of funding is the annual Brown Bag/Silent Auction held on the last day of school.  All items are donated   family, friends and interested individuals.  The committee is composed of volunteers and meets on an as needed basis or at least two times a year.
