It's never too early to start preparing for an amazing school year at Mid-Carolina Middle School!
Our 2026-2027 School Supply List is now available. We've worked to keep the list simple while ensuring our students have the tools they need to be successful from the very first day of school.
Please Note: Every MCMS student will receive a plastic folder with prongs and pockets for each content area and related arts class, one school ID badge with a lanyard, and one agenda from the school.
You can find grade-level supply lists for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, as well as any additional supplies needed for select related arts courses.
