Welcome to
I want to wish you and your family a very warm welcome to the MRA campus! As we return to school after a spring and summer unlike any before, we look forward to another year of great success in each area of school. Our students are provided incredible opportunities academically, athletically and spiritually each year, and our coaching staff, administrators, and faculty are the strongest with whom I’ve had the privilege to work. Over the years MRA has been synonymous with excellence in the classroom and on the playing field. When walking through the campus, around the athletic field, and in the academic buildings, the special character of our Patriot Values is truly evident, with Respect, Responsibility, Honor, Compassion, and Excellence as the symbols of our program. The numerous banners, trophies, and plaques are testament to MRA athletes past and present. These athletes have contributed their time, dedication, and talent to many individual, conference, state, and overall championships. They have become a part of history and tradition that echo throughout our school.

The school’s academic legacy continues to be exhibited by the many awards and scholarships that our graduates win, and this past year was no different. Our 79 seniors received over $9.3 million in scholarship offers with one in five of our seniors scoring 30 or better on the ACT. This graduating class had many outstanding achievements and will leave an indelible mark on our school. Not only were they resilient and impressive through the unique circumstances of their senior year, they also represented the very best of MRA academically, athletically, and spiritually. We look forward to the current senior class continuing the great example set forth by the Class of 2020. When MRA began 51 years ago, the family atmosphere and individualized attention were integral parts of the culture of the school. As the school has experienced exponential growth in student numbers, record academic achievements, and championship athletic accomplishments, an emphasis was placed on maintaining those core values that have always been a priority at MRA. With enrollment of 1304 students, MRA continues to build on its proud history while strategically planning for the limitless possibilities of its future. Again, welcome to our campus. We are extremely proud of the enhancements we have made over the spring and summer including the recent opening of our new football stadium, visual art hallway, performing art studio, extra first grade classroom, enhanced visitor football/basketball concession stand, and updated high school faculty lounge. We also updated our gymnasium floor and named it in honor of athletic director, Richard Duease, record- holding coach with the most wins in boys’ basketball in Mississippi history! Please enjoy your time on campus and know that we will continue to work hard to make a difference educationally and spiritually in the minds and hearts of our young people. Sincerely, Termie Land Head of School
