MISHAWAKA — School City of Mishawaka 's new Hums Elementary School is on budget and on schedule to open in time for the start of the 2027-28 school year, officials say.

Returns show Cynthia Murphy winning Goshen’s District 3 school board seat, Sandra Rodriguez-McMasters winning an at-large seat and Nora Chavez Morales winning Elkhart Township trustee. Cynthia's years supporting Latino students at Indiana University South Bend matter. She understands that opening a door means little unless someone helps a student walk through it.
