Welcome back to Metropolitan Preparatory Academy! We are excited to kick off the 2025-2026 school year, which we hope is filled with possibility, purpose, and pride for everyone. A warm welcome home to our returning families and a special welcome to all the new students joining our community for the first time.
Our Focus for the Year
Over the summer, our team worked tirelessly to prepare spaces, refresh resources, and refine our programs so that every single student can thrive academically, artistically, and personally. This year, you’ll see a renewed focus on:
- Strong Academics rooted in inquiry, critical thinking, and academic integrity.
- SMITH, GENIUS, and athletics programs that build confidence, collaboration, and school spirit.
- Well-being and belonging, ensuring every student is known, supported, and challenged.
- Global Perspectives that nurture leadership, compassion, and responsible citizenship in our interconnected world.
Thank You to Our Community
A successful school year is a community effort, and we’re grateful for each part of our Metro Prep family.
- To our parents and guardians: Thank you for choosing to partner with us. Your encouragement at home, your presence at school events, and your trust in our team make all the difference in your child’s success.
- To our exceptional faculty and staff: Your dedication sets the tone for everything we do. Thank you for the care, craft, and heart you bring to each lesson and interaction.
- To our students: This is YOUR year to shine. Ask the big questions, make bold choices, and support one another. Know that we are cheering for you every step of the way.
Let’s Make It a Great Year
To all our returning students: please make our new students feel welcome, inspired, and important—that’s what we do best.
We encourage every student to get involved! Join a club, audition for a production, compete for a team, or start something new. Bring your curiosity, kindness, and the courage to try new things to school every day.
Together, let’s make this our best year yet.
“Work hard. Be kind. Stay curious.”
Warmly,
Ryan Seeley
Principal
