At MPS, every student deserves the chance to explore their passions beyond the classroom. From new sports programs—including football at Brewtech—to more clubs and activities across all schools, we’re creating opportunities that boost engagement, attendance, and achievement while fostering competitive excellence.
MPS is transitioning all high schools to a traditional semester schedule to better align our academic calendar with colleges and universities.
This shift helps students move more seamlessly from high school to higher education.
The MPS Virtual School Expansion broadens learning beyond traditional walls. We're meeting students where they are and giving them the flexibility they need to thrive.
This initiative promotes equity, access, and choice—opening doors for students who need a different path to success.
