Mounds Park Academy

Last week, staff and faculty gathered to celebrate this year's retirees and milestone work anniversaries—honoring the dedication and passion of the faculty and staff members who have made a difference in the MPA community! Please join us in congratulating Yamini Kimmerle and Anne Scalia on 20 years, and Ashley Goetzke, Emily Jaques, Heather Mastel, Mark Segal, Shelley Steingraeber, and Natalie Waters Seum for 10 years at MPA. We wish Camille Johnson and Pokey Phillips the best in their retirement, and thank them for two careers that have had a lasting impact! Congratulations to all of this year's honorees! 💙

Our Field Day may have been a warm one, but that didn't slow us down! In a wonderful end-of-year tradition, we soaked up the sun, celebrated teamwork, and enjoyed some friendly competition. Thank you to everyone who made the day such a success, especially our incredible physical education faculty! More photos can be viewed at mpa.link/fieldday2026.

Summer Panther Programs kick off in just a few days, on Monday, June 8! There are still spots available, and we'd love to see you on campus for an unforgettable summer. Sign up now at mpa.link/summer.

A new tradition was born this year: the Lower School Closing Ceremony. It lifted up their voices and recognized our Lower School students for all they have accomplished this year. Congratulations on a fantastic year—we are proud of each and every one of you!

The final day of school was bittersweet as we revealed the yearbook design and bid farewell to our community. We can't wait to see everyone back on campus soon! More photos of our last day can be viewed at mpa.link/lastdayofschool2026.
