Student Life

MCP students create a vital school environment by participating in a wide range of activities, rounding out their academic pursuits. The Associated Student Body (ASB) motto, coined in 2003, perhaps expresses our culture of participation best: “For the students, by the students.” Our community frequently celebrates our student performances in athletics, graphic art, cinematography, music and drama, while students plan, coordinate, and produce these events. From technical production in theatre to setting up video media for assemblies; from scripting rallies to producing live video announcements, our students learn to orchestrate every step of the process. Students who have consistently been a part of our ASB have definitely left their fingerprints on the traditions of MCP, while also acting as the heartbeat of student life.

While at MCP students learn to exemplify “becoming women and men for others.” This interest extends past school leadership, technical support, and media production into the realm of community service.  The MCP commitment to others and to the community begins at our own campus in creating “a culture of care and accountability,” and then blossoms out into our greater community through school and community service hours achieved on an individual level, as well as a collective level. 

Additionally, our Royal Ambassadors program truly drives our roots deep into the soil of being committed to others. The Royal Ambassadors Program is a leadership opportunity for 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at MCP. Ambassadors are selected to represent the school at a variety of Enrollment and Advancement Events and Activities, hosting school tours, participating as visitation guides, sitting on informational panels, volunteering at alumni events, and being representatives of the school to the broader community. Student Ambassadors receive training in learning how to work with diverse groups of people, and in developing effective communication skills as representatives of Mission College Prep.
