Murray County Central (MCC) is a school district in southwestern Minnesota. Both the elementary school (West), and the high school (Central) are located in Slayton. The high school was known for much of its history as Slayton High School; this officially changed when the district consolidated in 1992, bringing in students from many of the surrounding communities, including Avoca, Chandler, Currie, Iona, and Lake Wilson. The high school currently houses grades seven through twelve as well as the kindergarten and first grade students. Those in grades two through six attend West Elementary.

The current administrative leadership for the 2013-2014 school year is as follows:

Murray County Central runs on a semester schedule. Students' days are broken down into four blocks, with one of the blocks consisting of two "skinny" classes. The core requirement subjects that all students must take include social studies (civics, American history, and economics), mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, and calculus), English (American, British, or mythological literature and ACT-prep grammar), natural and biological sciences, technology, art, personal health, and a foreign language. Currently, Spanish is the only foreign language offered to students. Other than core subjects, students are free to choose a variety of elective courses to take throughout their time at school. These electives include classes in music (instrumental and choral), fashion and interior design, food preparation, wood and metal working, business and agriculture.
