WEBSITE
PCS is thrilled to announce the launch of a new school website coming this fall! Visitors will experience improved performance and streamlined communications. Strategically built, as the information “viewbook” for prospective families, the new website tells
the MPCS story in a fresh way. For the hundreds of thousands of visitors to the MPCS website each year, the new design will be the central source of information and communication for our current families and students, donors, faculty and staff, athletics visitors, and prospective families. The MPCS website is the number one most important marketing and communications tool for the school. The website was due for a redesign, in keeping with best practices. The new design allows the school to communicate its value proposition to prospective families and positions the school as the leader in private education. The Parent Portal will be the point of access for parents, students and staff. And the upcoming new mobile app will enhance communications of school news and events in all areas. New enhancements and unique user features will be rolled out in the coming months. W
A LEARNING LEGACY Fulfilled

BY MRS. JENNIFER NEW, CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER
or nearly 20 years, Mrs. Katy Rogers was dedicated to the learning success of MPCS students, especially those in Directed Studies. Since the loss of our beloved leader and friend in 2021, Mrs. Rogers’ family and MPCS community have been giving in her memory to the
Katy Rogers Scholarship Fund for Directed Studies. Our goal has been to raise $100,000 to create an endowed, needs-based scholarship for Directed Studies students. In May, the scholarship sat at about $75,000 raised from approximately 200 donors. As the retirement wish of Dr. Deborah Davis and in honor of Mrs. Rogers impact, a very generous, anonymous donor made a $25,000 gift to reach the goal of establishing a permanently endowed scholarship. During the final MPCS all-staff meeting of the 2022-23 school year, the news was shared in person with Mrs. Rogers family (husband Jaime, son Sam, and son Keaton with his wife and children), as well as Mrs. Roger’s colleagues. We are grateful for all of the donors who have ensured Mrs. Rogers memory and work continues in perpetuity at MPCS. W
