WHY YOU SHOULD PICK MPS Students
throughout all Magnolia Public Schools (MPS) campuses use technology daily at
school and at home as a tool to work collaboratively with each other and
communicate with teachers. We challenge their minds and foster an environment
where students want to learn, whether that is through our science labs, or our
robotics projects and competitions. At Magnolia Public Schools (MPS) we
place great emphasis on STEAM education, as it will give our students an
advantage in their college and career plans. Students at Magnolia
Public Schools (MPS) also participate in a variety of school activities and
clubs including technology & engineering, language & culture, community
service, and visual & performing arts. We are
looking for great minds who want to learn. With the help of our teachers,
principals, staff, and of course parents, we aim to prepare our students to
succeed in whatever educational and career paths they choose. INNOVATIVE FEATURES OF THE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM Magnolia
Public Schools distinguishes itself from other schools by cultivating the
pursuit of excellence through a rigorous, high-quality STEAM education for all
students. We incorporate an extraordinary support program that
includes home visits, extended learning, and parent and community engagement. At MPS we
believe that after-school hours are an extension of the day. MPS recognizes
that educational success is realized only when the essential underlying triad
of student-teacher-parent/guardian is in harmony. PARENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (PACE)
PROGRAM The Parent
Advocacy & Community Engagement (PACE) Program utilizes on-site
coordinators who build coalitions and partnerships. The PACE Coordinator works
to build social capital by fostering person-to-person and people-to-place
relationships, develop the skill and will of parents and community leaders to
take on leadership roles within schools and in their community, and encourage
civic engagement in order to build neighborhoods where the stakeholders want to
invest their time and resources to transform their communities. HOME VISIT PROGRAM Research has
shown that one of the keys to successful teaching and schooling is creating
personal connections with students. MPS teachers visit students at their homes
to enhance student learning and involvement. Family visits offer invaluable
insights about students. They can provide new understanding about students'
learning styles. Visits might also reveal the emotional and social needs and
behaviors of students. It is helpful to know if they react to problems with
tears, anger, or withdrawal, and how they socialize with peers. Through
family visits, teachers can identify students' latest interests or concerns,
such as a new hobby, an upcoming trip, or a change in the family. TUTORING AND CLUBS We offer
tutoring and clubs designed to support daytime instruction. Additionally, there
is targeted intervention before, during, and after-school. SATURDAY PROGRAMS Beyond the
Monday through Friday programming, we offer Saturday programs which
include academic tutoring, enrichment, and parent workshops. At MPS, learning
is a yearlong commitment; we also offer Winter and Spring academic camps as
well as Summer school programs. ALUMNI NETWORK MPS does not
stop there. Our strong alumni network is intended to support
our graduates in enrolling and completing their post-secondary degrees and
entering the workforce.
