Welcome to the first edition of the MPH Snapshot! We hope to give you a glimpse into the day-to-day activities happening on campus through photos and videos. Enjoy!
Hello from Dave McCusker!
Head of School Dave McCusker welcomes you to the new school year in this video message.
Orientation & Back-to-School Picnic
Campus was filled with new and returning students last Thursday as we kicked off Orientation and closed out the day with our annual Back-to-School Picnic. The sun was shining as we enjoyed fabulous picnic fare and reconnected with our fellow MPH community members. Click the photo below to see images from the day.

The Handshake Ceremony
Our traditional Handshake Ceremony went off without a hitch! All members of the senior class, the faculty, and staff had an opportunity to shake the hands of every other MPH community member.

Prior to the ceremony, Head of School Dave McCusker shared this message to the community: " My encouragement, whether you are new to MPH, or whether you're returning, is "fear not." The simple fact that you are here means that you are courageous, and authentic learning requires us all to be brave and to take risks. When it comes to your education, whether you're in a classroom, in the art studio, on the stage, on the playing field, or in your MPH House, which you will learn more about later this morning....I would encourage you to lean into the experience as a way to reap the maximum benefits."

From the mouths of new Pre-K students...

“That was a big hello maze!”
 
“Where is the bounce house?”
 
“Are we going to learn to read now?”
