Leadership opportunities, getting to explore her passions in the arts, and bonding as a class–these are the five things Elizabeth ’27 wants you to know about MPA.
1. Tenth grade takes an annual trip to Deep Portage.
Every year the sophomore class gets to go to Deep Portage together. It was so fun riding the bus and doing activities while getting to know my grade a bit better.
2. Creativity is encouraged.
In concert choir, we do a competition between sections where our section leaders take a popular song, change the lyrics to make them choir-related, and then we perform for a panel of faculty judges. This year my section (the altos) won, which was exciting.
3. MPA has a variety of offerings.
MPA offers lots of different art classes. Personally, as someone who loves art, it is really cool to try things I’ve never done before like ceramics.
4. There are fun ways to get involved.
Clubs are a fun way for students to get involved. This year, I’m a part of the student ambassador leadership team, which allows me to help share my MPA experience with new families during panels or events.
5. You can pursue your passions.
I’m not an actor, but MPA offers classes and after-school opportunities to do tech for the theater department. I’m doing run crew for the spring musical, and I did props and run crew for the winter show.
