Unique experiences, a warm and welcoming community, and support when needed have been Rosie Bergh’s experiences at Mounds Park Academy. Continue reading for Rosie’s top-five things to know at MPA!
1. It’s super easy to get involved.
Most students at MPA are in multiple clubs and activities; it’s a good way to meet new people. I ran the Reading Buddies program this year, and I was able to connect with the younger kids in the building.
2. Classes are smaller and allow teachers to better engage with students.
My average class size is about eleven people, which allows us to have valuable discussions where everyone contributes.
3. Homecoming is a unique experience.
Students go to the homecoming dance in costumes with their fall sports teams. What you dress up as is always a surprise to the other teams!
4. College Counseling provides a lot of support.
Every year of high school, college counselors talk with students about higher education. I feel comfortable talking to my counselor about my future because we have built a strong relationship over the past few years.
5. Senior year at MPA is great and memorable.
The class really comes together during senior year, and we all feel like family. We have multiple events where the class bonds and makes lasting memories.
