“Growing the Family”

increases career/vocational awareness

as an urgent factor for our inner-city

households, growing industry connections for all MPS families to meet 21st

Century

workforce needs, intentional

focus

towards

middle-high

wage

employment

, and providing innovative measures to mandate

character

development

within our engagement process

(attendance, quality

customer service,

social-emotional

development, grit/persistence,

etc

).
