Parents, would you like to know more about things that are happening at school? Would you like to get more involved? If so, come to the MPAC meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2019 at 3:30 pm.  MPAC is the MPHS parent organization. All parents are invited to attend!

Mrs. May has been married for 13 years to her husband, James May. They have four children: James, Seth, Michael, and Hannah. She has taught at MP for 9 years, and currently serves as a Read180 teacher and yearbook advisor. What does she like best about her job? She loves interacting with the students. Her hobbies include singing and dancing. If she could go back in time, she would like to go back to the late 80s/early 90s, because she loves the music, movies, and dances from that time period. If she did not have to sleep, she would spend the extra time with her husband, and her kids, and read Christian books. When people come to her for help, they usually come to her for prayer and motivation. When asked who had influenced her most, she said "God, my mother, my husband, and my children have all contributed to me being me!" She said her twin boys keep her at night, one sleep walks and the other one loves to play with toys at 2 a.m. In her younger years, she was part of a dance company that performed around Georgia. She met many top dancers and choreographers such as Cleo Parker Robinson. She enjoys working with her church ministry, and would love to become a Christian writer.

Mrs. Bernard joined our staff in May of this year, as a media clerk. She is married to Trey, who is a math teacher at MP. They are both MP graduates and have been married for 5 1/2 years and have a daughter, Olivia, who is almost two. They also have two cats and a dog. She enjoys helping students find books that they can connect with. She also likes helping teachers plan new activities for lessons that are outside the box. Her hobbies include outdoor activities (hunting, fishing, hiking), jogging, singing, baking, and spending time with Olivia and the rest of her family. If she could go back in time, she would go back to 2003, her 9th grade year in high school, just to spend more time with her grandparents, "that we lost that year". If she didn't have to sleep, she would use the extra time to bake, catch up on her reading, and find new music. When people come to her for help, they usually need a book suggestion, or they just want someone to listen to them. Who has influenced her life the most? "My parents and grandparents taught me morals, values, hard work, and the ability to slow down and listen to people." What keeps her up at night? Her pets and sometimes her child keep her up, "but usually that feeling that you've forgotten to do something important." She has an interesting school background. She originally went to UGA to be an archaeologist, but instead graduated with a degree in international affairs, specializing in intelligence, and community building. She also has a master's degree in library science with a concentration in young adult library sciences.

Mrs. Hart graduated from MP in 1984. She is married to her husband, Linwood. She has been a custodian here for a little over 2 years. Prior to working at MP, she worked in the hotel industry for 28 years. She likes working here because she gets her weekends off, and she enjoys working with the people here. In her spare time she enjoys watching movies (especially Lifetime movies), shopping, and going to football games. She is always willing to help whenever she is needed. She said that her mother has influenced her life the most. Mrs. Hart is a true asset to MP. Here are some comments that were made about her when she was nominated: "I look forward to seeing her everyday! She takes such great care of me....I just love her!.", "In my 26 years as an educator, I have never had a more consistent custodian with such a commitment and pride in her work. She brightens every day." and "She is exceptional! My room is always perfect - she pays attention to details and is always personable."
