Saturday Spotlight: Mike Argo, Class of 1988 🎓

Every week, we highlight an MHS alum and share their journey beyond high school. This week’s Saturday Spotlight features Mike Argo, Class of 1988, whose passion for sports and leadership has shaped his career and community involvement.

From the Football Field to Leadership

Mike’s senior year football win against Abilene stands out as one of his favorite high school memories. He originally planned to become a Music Ed/Physical Ed teacher, but life had a different path in store.

Instead, Mike built a career in the energy and agriculture industry. Today, he works for Central Valley Ag in Clay Center as the North Central Kansas Energy Advisor, helping communities and businesses manage energy solutions.

Balancing Work, Family, and Community

Mike is more than just a professional—he’s also a dedicated husband and father. He and his wife live in Clay Center, Kansas, raising their two sons, ages 30 and 16.

Outside of work, Mike is deeply involved in the Clay Center community. He serves as the Clay County Fairboard President and manages all race operations at the local track. His passion for sports also led him back to Marysville High School, where he coached high school and middle school football and wrestling for a time.
