Parents Association

On behalf of the McDonogh Parents Association (MPA), we cannot wait for another wonderful year to begin. I am honored and privileged to serve as the 2024-2025 MPA President. As an alumna, I was overjoyed to return to McDonogh in 2021. While McDonogh was home for me for many years, my husband and I were thrilled at the opportunity for our boys to enjoy the McDonogh experience. My appreciation and respect for McDonogh have strengthened as the bonds and friendships I have made in the community have grown, and my trust and appreciation for the faculty and staff have deepened. The MPA provides a wonderful opportunity to form meaningful connections while providing support and having a positive impact on McDonogh's faculty and students. 

The MPA goals are to:

• Foster a friendly, inclusive, and vibrant volunteer community;
• Support families, faculty, and students through enriching programs and engaging social events;
• Provide vital resources and communication;
• Have lots of fun!

How can parents get involved?

Go Eagles!
