It’s been another great week at MPHS! Sweet Week is in full swing, and our CHAMPs are doing an incredible job raising money to support local charities. Remember, if we reach our goal of $1,000, there will be a principal’s reward for everyone, so let’s keep the momentum going!
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” - Winston Churchill
While Sweet Week is about giving back to our community, it’s also about understanding the true meaning of giving. Giving goes beyond simply sharing what you have; it’s about showing kindness, empathy, and compassion for others. When you take time to help someone in need, whether through your time, effort, or resources, you make a real difference. Even the smallest acts of generosity can create a ripple effect, inspiring others to do the same. Learning to give now helps build strong character, strengthens our community, and reminds each of you that you have the power to make a positive impact.
Tomorrow is Color War Day, so represent your grade with pride! Be sure to wear your Athletic Wear as well; you’ve earned it! Let’s bring the energy and school spirit to our Spring Pep Rally as we head into Spring Break.
Have a great Friday, and Go Dogs!

Great job this week, CHAMPs! Colin Powell once said, “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.” Thank you for showing up each day determined and willing to put in the work to succeed. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!
We are especially excited for Friday with two big reasons to celebrate! First, you all have earned Athletic Wear for remaining committed to being Courteous, Honorable, Accountable, Motivated, and Prepared! Then, we’ll enjoy an early dismissal with our CHAMP Early Release Day for those of you who earned the incentive. A special bonus is the Junior/Senior Prom at Fall Line Station on Saturday.
And don’t forget: Sweet Week kicks off next week! Get ready for a fun-filled week as we come together to support some great local charities.
Finish strong; Friday is going to be a great day!

We definitely ended the week with a little weather twist, but I’m proud of the way everyone kept a positive attitude and powered through like CHAMPs. Sometimes things venture into uncharted territory and we gain new skills as we navigate through. Today was a testament to that!
As we head into the weekend, remember this quote from basketball legend Michael Jordan:
“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”
No matter the weather, keep showing up, working hard, making things happen, and do it like the CHAMP that you are. Have a great weekend, stay safe, and enjoy your Athletic Wear Friday!

As we wrap up another week, we want to take a moment to recognize the great job you have done this week. Thank you for showing what it means to be Courteous, Honorable, Accountable, Motivated, and Prepared. Because we were CHAMPs, we earned another Athletic Wear Friday!
Spring is a busy time of year, and it can be easy to lose focus as the weather gets nicer and activities pick up. We appreciate the way so many of you have continued to stay engaged, work hard, and represent our school well.
As you head into the weekend, remember this thought from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson:
“Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success.”
Take time this weekend to relax, spend time with friends and family, and recharge for the week ahead. When we return on Monday, let’s keep the CHAMP greatness going and finish this spring semester strong.
Have a safe and enjoyable weekend. Go Dogs!

MP Academic Team took home first in AAA at the GATA JV State Championship for the second consecutive year! Competing team members included Connor Carr, Savannah Banks, Dahlia Madison, and Foster Groebner. Congratulations!
Spring is approaching, and with it comes new opportunities to get involved, to try something different, and to make the most of your time at Mary Persons High School!
We encourage each of you to step outside your comfort zone this season. Join a club. Try out for a team. Audition for a performance. Volunteer. Attend events. When you get involved, you’re not just filling your schedule, you’re building friendships, developing leadership skills, and creating memories that will stay with you long after graduation.
Remember the words of Oprah Winfrey:
“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”
Getting involved is often the first step toward discovering what those dreams might be. You never know what talent you’ll uncover, what passion you’ll ignite, or what doors will open simply because you decided to show up.
Make this spring count. Say yes to opportunities. Cheer each other on. Be present. Be bold. Be a CHAMP!
Enjoy Athletic Wear tomorrow because you earned it. As we move into spring, sometimes we get a little restless. So, remember: Don’t let the “Spring Fever” set in and cause you to make un-CHAMP-like decisions. We want to keep this positive momentum going. Make sure you are always being Courteous, Honorable, Accountable, Motivated, and Prepared!
