Servant-Leaders Who Go Above and Beyond

MPCS Board of Trustees

The "Board" has responsibility for setting school policies in line with mission. Our Board consists of respected business men and women, pastors, and community leaders. The Board meets on a monthly basis to govern the operations and goals of the organization.

Administration of the total school program is assigned to a head of school, who is appointed by the Board. Working in conjunction with the head of school to lead the school are the school division heads, as well as a group of administrators and support staff on the Executive Council.  

The teachers, administrators, and staff at MPCS care about you, your success, your happiness, your future.
