INTERMEDIATE

It is our goal at MPH to facilitate the educa-tion of our students through elevated expectations, as well as multiple and diverse methods of student engagement in the curriculum. We believe education should be rigorous and beneficial to the prepara-tion of students’ future collegiate and career pursuits. Finally, we believe the connection to students’ experiences, culture and interests through a caring environment encourages student achieve-ment. These tenets of education are most successfully supported via collaboration of best practices by invested members in a solutions-based model.
