The identifiable personal information you provide through email lists, web forms and surveys is considered private data. The data may be shared with employees of the school as necessary to provide the specific service requested, but no personal identification information is ever shared with other organizations, advertisers, or other third parties without explicit permission.

Use of Photographs
Photographs of MPA community members, including students, alumna/e, faculty, and staff are used on this website.

MPA has many visitors during the course of the school year, and students from other schools participate in many of its events and activities. Photography of these events may be used both internally and externally and with appropriate identification if possible (i.e. visiting artists, guest speakers, athletic teams).
