MP Profile
Meet Natalie Estes. She is married to Aaron and they have two children, Mercer (4) and Rayleigh (1). She is in her 12th year of teaching Honors Biology at MP. To her, the best part about her job is "getting to know students and seeing them grow and succeed." In her spare time she enjoys reading, baking, and gardening. If she did not have to sleep, she would spend the extra time with her kids. When people come to her for help, they usually need advice or some form of volunteer work. Her parents and her sister, Jessica, have influenced her life the most. Missing her dad, and concern about our country's current state keep her up at night. She encourages everyone to "always tell your loved ones that you love them because you never know if it's the last time you will see them."

Bulldog Blessings
Adopt-A-Senior 2018 is a new program sponsored by the Bulldog Blessings.
Senior year is expensive, and we're asking our local organizations, groups and citizens to chip in and adopt some of our seniors who are in need of support. Our goal is that ALL MP Grads experience the full memory of their senior year and don't have to skip out on any activities due to cost.

Attention Seniors
The FAFSA® is the application that students must complete to apply for federal student aid, which can be used to attend an eligible college or career school. Federal student aid includes Federal Pell Grants, federal student loans, and work-study opportunities. In addition to determining eligibility for federal student aid, many states, private organizations, colleges, and career schools rely on information from the FAFSA to determine eligibility for nonfederal sources of aid.
ALL students must complete this form regardless of parent income. The 2018 FAFSA application is now open.
