Our Athletics Program here at MCA is growing in numbers and we really could use the help to support our athletic teams. With the steady rising cost of Athletics across the country, our Athletic teams could really use your support to cover expenses, field costs, upgraded equipment, uniforms, and so much more.

Any dollar amount would help and be greatly appreciated. You can share the link below with friends, family, and co-workers as we continue to build MCA Athletics for the future. There are only a few days left to hit our goal as the fundraiser will end on October 16th.

Ollie the Owl is showing students what it looks like to stop, think, and make a wise choice.

Through our Moral Focus™ program, students at our K-8 schools learn how virtues like wisdom show up in real life — at school and at home.

Ask your child what wisdom looks like to them. Their answer might surprise you.
