Rooted in Academics

Thank you to the MPS Foundation, Sodexo Food and Maintenance Services, and D.J.'s Dugout for sponsoring our Employees of the Month!

The Board of Education Student Showcase honors students with top honors in local, state, and national competitions. The award to each honoree is provided through the generous support of the MPS Foundation.

Last night the Board of Education unanimously approved a recommendation to name the track and field at Buell Stadium the Sutfin Track & Field in honor of former superintendent Dr. Jim Sutfin. Dr. Sutfin retired in the spring of 2022. During his tenure, he brought one-to-one technology to the district and spearheaded the #BeKind movement. He was instrumental in the start of Early College at Millard South, and the Bridge to Early College at Central Middle School. He also led the way in bringing the Junior Air Force ROTC and the first Boys & Girls Club to the district. Dr. Sutfin attended the meeting with his family and thanked the Board. He received a standing ovation.
