MP Profile
Meet Lori Greenway! She is married to Mitchell, and they have a son/nephew, Seth. They also have one black lab, Sanjay, one yellow lab, Quincy, and two cats, Marshall & Violet. She has been a teacher at MP for 10 years. What does she like best about her job? - "My wonderful students and my colleague friends." She enjoys collecting magnets. If she could go back in time, she would like to go back to 1600s London, "to be one of Henry's wives." If she did not have to sleep, she would use the extra time to clean and organize. When people come to her for help, they usually want help with technology, or they need advice. When asked who has influenced her life the most, she said "my mom taught me that I wanted to be independent." Quincy's barking keeps her up at night. While earning her teaching certification, she worked at a neurosurgeon's office for several years. "I have food allergies, and I will
not wear 100% cotton." Oh, and she really loves Prince.

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.
