Letter Jacket Day Wednesday!

Our letter jacket vendor, Jostens, will be on campus Wednesday, February 5 during high school lunch for try-ons and ordering for varsity letter jackets. High school students who have earned a letter in athletics, arts, or academics will be able to place an order. 

As a special perk - all students that WEAR their varsity letter jacket OR who try-on to order a jacket that day will receive free pizza compliments of Eagle Backers! 

The cost is $228 plus any desired upgrades to emblems or jacket material, payable upon ordering online using the QR code the student will receive on Letter Jacket Day. Students must bring their earned letter with them to the fitting. Their best-fit size will be included on the card with information on how to order. 

Remember, MPC letter jackets are APPROVED DAILY OUTERWEAR for high schools students. Please contact Erika Redfearn in the athletic office at 470-440-4329 x 2090 with any questions.

FAQ's

How do I earn a letter? 

As one of our core values, MPCS teaches students to be "pursuers of excellence." It is our goal to guide students to explore many of the opportunities available to them at the school for a complete and well-rounded education. To encourage this, MPCS offers high school students additional opportunities to earn a letter in academics, arts, and athletics, which also will earn them area-specific jacket sleeve patches to signify their achievements. Criteria includes:

• Athletics — Compete in an athletics sport at the varsity level for at least one year (athletes will also receive a sport-specific pin and bars for subsequent years played)
• Academics — Participate in an competitive academic team (Eagle Robotics, Mock Trial, Governor's Honors)
• Arts — Participate in a competitive arts event at a varsity or high level (MPC Band, Visual Art Symposium, Winter Guard, All-State, GMEA, One Act/Literary competitions, Governor's Honors)

Our goal is to encourage students to compete on the various teams or arts competitions beyond playing sports, for a well-balanced school experience! 

How do I get the sleeve patches? 

As noted, the ultimate goal is for a student to potentially letter in all of the three "A's":  Athletics, Arts, and Academics!

Athletics:

Student-athletes will receive one "M" letter at their varsity end-of-season banquet. If a student chooses to order a letter jacket, an additional "M" letter will automatically be added to their letter jacket order by the vendor. For athletes, the MPC Eagle-head patch will be available through the Jostens order form on the right sleeve, added by the vendor. If a jacket is ordered, "M" letters already received may be retained as a keepsake. If a student does not order a jacket, they may of course keep the "M" letter by itself also.

In addition, if an athlete is awarded a GHSA-issued or state of Georgia Region/Playoff patch for team achievements, those patches may be added on your own. We recommend that GHSA patches are sewn on below the graduation year first, or can be added to other locations if the left sleeve is full.
 

Arts and Academics:

Students who letter in arts and academics will receive an "M" letter from their coach or the arts department at their end-of-season celebration. Arts patches or academic seal patches will also be given to participants that letter in those areas. If a student chooses to order a letter jacket, an "M" letter will automatically be added to their letter jacket order by the vendor. If a student does not order a jacket, they may of course keep the "M" letter and sleeve patch.

Challenge yourself or your student to earn all three patches to be added to the right jacket sleeve!
