2018-19 Annual Report

You've Shown How To...

"Each day, I find experience MPA in a new way. Whether through the perspective of a new student, attending Monday Morning Meeting with our Lower School, having lunch with Middle School students, or by engaging in informal hallway conversations with Upper School students, I am continually reminded that MPA is a very special place. In so many ways, this is made possible because of you—because of the joyful community we all create together.

Our school wouldn’t be what it is today without your support. Your generosity is demonstrated by getting involved, giving back, and staying connected. This support means that we can offer new opportunities for our students and teachers and spaces to continue to build upon our strengths as a community.

Serving as your head of school and being an MPA parent is humbling, joyful, and incredibly rewarding. On behalf of our students, faculty, and staff, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you."
-Dr. Bill Hudson, head of school

"Our children have been at the school for 13 years. We arrived soon after the last capital campaign and have enjoyed the beautiful Lansing Sports Center, Hart Commons, and Upper School classrooms. My support comes from a sense of gratitude for the families who came before us. They had the vision and passion to establish and grow MPA."
