from Tiffany Scott Knox, chair, board of trustees
When I think about Mounds Park Academy, I’m reminded that what makes this place so special isn’t just what happens today—it’s how every moment, every act of kindness, and every gift shapes what’s possible for tomorrow.
This year’s Fall Campaign theme, “MPA, Where Every Gift Shapes Tomorrow,” captures that beautifully. Each contribution—large or small—fuels the dreams of our students and supports the incredible work of our faculty and staff. Together, we’re shaping a future where curiosity, compassion, and courage thrive.
As a parent and board chair, I’ve had the privilege of being part of the MPA community for nearly a decade. Since Alex and Ava started in kindergarten, it’s been incredible to watch how this community encourages them to take risks, lead with heart, and think deeply. That same spark shines in every student across campus.
At our 100 Days: Charting the Future event, I shared how inspired I am by Dr. Lori-Anne Brogdon’s leadership. She has approached her first 100 days with what I like to call the three C’s—curiosity, clarity, and care. Her thoughtful approach is guiding MPA with purpose and vision, and the road ahead is bright.
Now is the moment to invest in what makes MPA extraordinary: our people, our programs, and our promise to every student. Your support makes all the difference as we ensure that MPA’s mission continues to inspire generations to come.
As a community, we have the opportunity to build on the strong foundation that defines MPA and to carry it forward with purpose. Our generosity today shapes the experiences, opportunities, and discoveries of tomorrow. Let’s come together—continuing to dream big and do right—as we shape the next chapter of MPA’s story.
