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.

MPS is launching Themed Academic Academies in all traditional schools to ensure every student, in every zone, has access to a signature learning pathway aligned with real-world careers.
More engagement. More relevance. More college and career readiness for every student.
