Please Support the MPHS
Academic WorldQuest Team
At the Academic WorldQuest regional competition in November, Myers Park's eight-member team answered questions about everything from Brexit to Antarctican geography and won first place. Myers Park was the first public school to win regionals and is now the only school in the region to win four times in a row!
We are so excited to be representing Myers Park at the national competition again this April in Washington, DC, but we can only get there with your help.
The PTSO supports this group and many others at MPHS, but the unexpected travel expenses due to the big win are beyond the available budget.
Please consider contributing to our fund to ease the financial burden of travel expenses at this link.
