ROYAL PRIDE WEEKLY
March 3, 2023
Hello Royals Family!
Our MCP faculty and staff enjoyed a productive Professional Development Day today, which capped off what was for our students, I’m sure, a welcomed four-day week of instruction. As a faculty community, we are in the middle of some work intended to continue building our unique campus culture. Specifically, in the area of student ‘belonging,’ what we often refer to as our feeling of ‘family’ within our entire school.
This work is both inseparable from and vital to our mission. We recognize adolescence as a time of exceptional challenge. Students at this age are emerging from their early formative years and beginning to comprehend their own uniqueness (often a revelation that produces more angst than awe). These young people are simultaneously beginning to recognize that our world has more than its fair share of inequity, malevolence, and hypocrisy (further heightening anxieties). The typical reaction of adolescence to all of this is to seek comfort and safety as quickly as possible within a peer group (often any group that will have them).
It is also common as they move through adolescence (at the same time that their world becomes scarier) that students are clamoring to be released by their parents into increasing levels of autonomy. That can come in a variety of forms in every family: perhaps they are trusted to do homework without a nightly or weekly check from home; perhaps they are allowed greater social media access; perhaps their friend group expands beyond their neighborhood (or even beyond their county); perhaps they can ‘walk downtown’ with friends after school. Every family is different and achieving that balance, as a parent is among the great mysteries of child-rearing.
We, as teachers, truly love this time in a young person’s life. We choose to work in high schools because of the incredible promise that every adolescent holds. When these young people go on to exceed our expectations, it is like seeing the fingerprints of the divine manifested in this world.
Thank you, as always for your faith in us! We are in this with you, as partners. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, and please have a wonderful weekend.
Yours in Christ,
Mike Susank
Principal

Community Service Reminder - Senior Students
This is a friendly reminder that all of your service hours must be complete in order to receive your diploma and have transcripts sent to your college of choice. Now is a great time to start making a plan to make sure this requirement is fulfilled. Senior students need a total of 60 community service hours and 22.5 school service hours (this is the adjustment from our covid years). Students are able to make up hours - but you can't move hours forward (example you completed all of your hours freshmen year and want to count it for all four years). Mrs. Buresh has a record of where you are at as of right now in her office. If you have questions stop by and see Mrs. Buresh. Graduation will be here before you know it - let's make sure your requirement is taken care of for graduation.
**If you transferred into MCP...you will have additional adjustments to these totals.
