    • MMA Updates

      The days are winding down, and the beginning of life after the Military Magnet Academy will essentially be here in less than a week. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for allowing us to be a part of your learning experience, but more importantly your families for most of your middle school and high school years.  Together, we have made it to the brink of a life's milestone, and I am excited to see what the future will bring for you rising stars. Here are some important reminders and updates specifically, for you;

      a.) ALL Senior coursework must be completed by May 13, 2020.  This includes quarter, semester, and dual-enrollment courses.  The senior graduation items pick-up day will May 20, 2020. Please look for information from Coach Simmons with directives for this day. 

      b.)  The leadership team will draft the initial recording of our 2020 virtual commencement program on next Friday.  Our Valedictorian and Salutatorian announcements will be made following the submission and finalization of Senior grades, and their recording time will be sent to them.

      c.)  The senior committee will contact those students that are due a partial refund of their fees. If you have questions, please send them to Dr. Perrineau, Mr. Simmons, or SGT Doxie. 

      d.)  There are still multiple unclaimed scholarships that students may qualify to receive.  Please review the scholarship listings and apply for as many as possible.  No amount is too small or too great.

      e.)  JROTC and MMA Uniform return will be conducted as a part of your final checkout.  We are awaiting the date from CCSD district officials to allow you all to return to campus to complete this.  When the date is published, you will need to make adjustments to your schedule to ensure that you are present.  We will coordinate uniform submission, fees, and fines resolution, and Senior item pick-ups at one time, as we are still social distancing and minimizing the amount of contact among large groups on our CCSD campuses. 

      If you have any questions, or concerns regarding the next few days, please do not hesitate to contact me or a school faculty member.  I do not want any of you to be left off of the spring graduation list.  Let's finish this 12-year race with style and grace.
