Although the high school is small, it has so much to offer. My child had wonderful, caring, and highly motivated teachers. The teachers and administration are interested in the success of every child. The school has increased their offering of AP courses, has honors classes and many extra-curricular activities. A student in MPHS is not just a number. Each student has an opportunity to reach their full potential in this small nurturing environment. Close Quote

MPHS is a small school that offers all of the attributes of a larger one, including AP/Honor classes, National Honor Society,etc. The big difference is that the learning environment mirrors more of a private school. Kids (and parents!) can form great and lasting relationships with administration, faculty, and their peers. I love its "room for everyone" attitude. The Marching Band program is the best around!
