from Dr. Lori-Anne Brogdon, head of school
We have so much to celebrate in the next few days! I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming end-of-year celebrations and ceremonies that mark the end of the 2025-26 school year. I want to thank the entire MPA community for your care, honesty, partnership, and energy. Schools are shaped and defined by the people within. Our community continues to show what is possible when people are willing to work together, support one another, and stay committed to our collective growth and success.
This year asked all of us to navigate moments of celebration, change, challenge, and growth. Not every moment was easy. I am deeply grateful that through it all, our shared commitment to dreaming big and doing right remained at the center of our work with students and with each other.
To our parents, guardians, and friends, thank you for showing up. Whether volunteering for field trips, supporting classroom projects, attending performances and games, hosting visiting students, participating in community service, or simply checking in on one another during difficult moments, you helped strengthen the sense of connection that makes MPA special.
To our students, faculty, and staff, thank you for the curiosity, humor, creativity, and heart you brought into our classrooms, hallways, stages, and fields every day. You made this year meaningful and memorable.
And to the Class of 2026, congratulations! As you leave MPA and join our alumni community, know that you carry forward the values and relationships built here. We are proud of the people you have become and excited to see the meaningful impact you will make beyond MPA.
As I complete my first year, I would like to thank you for your trust and partnership. It is truly an honor to call MPA home. I hope your summer brings you time to rest, to dream, to connect, and to participate in activities that bring you joy.
