As a teacher at Mounds Park Academy, I see firsthand every day how extraordinary this community is. MPA isn’t just a school; it’s a place where students, staff, and families come together to create an environment that fosters growth, curiosity, and kindness. I give to MPA because I believe in the opportunities we provide for our students—opportunities that are truly unmatched. From innovative classroom experiences to the arts, athletics, and countless leadership opportunities, MPA equips students to thrive academically and personally. It’s inspiring to watch our students discover their passions, take risks, and grow into confident, compassionate leaders. What makes MPA so special isn’t just the exceptional education, though—it’s the community. Being part of a school where everyone feels valued and supported is rare, and it’s something I cherish as a teacher. I give because I want to ensure that this incredible community and these life-changing opportunities continue to flourish for generations to come. MPA is more than a workplace or a school—it’s a family, and I’m proud to be part of it. That’s why I give.
