Prom
The 2007 MPA Prom was a big success! Check out some pictures of beautiful gowns, a senior boys’ dance-line, and a chaperone that may be looking at hip replacement surgery.
Graduation – Seniors
The end is near! The seniors seem to have mixed emotions about the end of their MPA careers. Next Friday is the last day for senior classes. During the last two weeks before graduation, the seniors will complete their service projects and prepare a presentation of their work. They will also take seminars in self-defense, personal finance, and “how to get the job.” Wednesday, June 6th is the senior dinner, Thursday, June 7th is the senior picnic, Friday is graduation practice, and finally Saturday at 5:00 p.m. is the ceremony. The graduation ceremony lasts about 90 minutes with a reception immediately following in the new courtyard. Seniors should be at school by 4:00 p.m. on graduation day – earlier if they are having individual pictures taken.
We ask that all graduates wear appropriate attire under their gowns. The boys should wear dress pants and shirts and dress shoes - no sandals. The girls should wear nice pants or a dress (the dress should be at least knee length.) Sitting on stage can be a “revealing experience.”
Graduation – Juniors
MPA has a wonderful tradition of juniors participating in graduation. The juniors are part of the processional. The juniors form a reception line in the Nicholson Center as the seniors walk to the stage. Juniors are not required to participate, but it is a great opportunity to be part of this special day and to see what happens at graduation. Any junior who would like to participate must attend rehearsal on Friday, June 8th at 11:00 a.m. Graduation is at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. The ceremony lasts about 90 minutes. All juniors must be dressed appropriately. All boys must be in dress pants, shirt and tie. The girls need to wear dress pants or a dress of appropriate length.
Awards Ceremony
On Friday, June 1st, the Upper School Awards Ceremony will take place at 2:00 p.m. in the Nicholson Center. This ceremony is a chance for us to recognize achievement in all areas of the school. We would like to invite all parents to this event.
