JUNE 2021 MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
“Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.” President John F. Kennedy
It is June in America and communities everywhere are preparing for graduation and promotion ceremonies. We are pleased and proud to recognize our senior class Panthers for the academic and character-based achievements they have so deservedly earned. Our administrators and teachers have proven they rank among the finest educators anywhere, serving as skilled navigators on each child’s lifelong learning journey. The trustees of our Board of Education deserve sincere gratitude for their countless hours of volunteer service to the district, representing their neighbors with noteworthy commitment. The support of our many community partners is ongoing and we are humbled by each organization’s generosity. Finally, it is the unconditional love provided by our school families that completes the essential triad—school, community, home—which is the key to every child’s success.
While June is a special month for all students, the members of MPHS’s Class of 2021 will remember this time in a poignant way. Our graduates have earned honor and praise in academics, fine and performing arts, and athletics. They have stood tall through challenging times, both for our nation and in our own district community, and have been outstanding role models for younger peers. As graduation day draws near, know we will be both wistful and joyful as we watch our seniors move on to meet the challenges of college and beyond.
On behalf of all in our district, we congratulate MPHS’s Class of 2021 and wish them much success and happiness in years to come!
Best regards,
Dr. Marie Cirasella
