Principal's Corner

Welcome Back, Mound School of the Arts!

Dear MSA Families and Scholars,

Welcome to a brand-new school year at Mound School of the Arts! We are excited to open our doors and welcome our scholars and families back for a year filled with learning, creativity, new experiences, and opportunities to shine. Whether you are returning to or joining our school family for the first time, we are so happy you are here and look forward to an amazing year together.

This year marks an exciting new chapter for our school as we bring academics and the arts together in new and engaging ways. At Mound School of the Arts, scholars will have opportunities to explore their creativity, discover new talents, build confidence, and express themselves through a variety of artistic experiences. Our goal is to create a school where scholars are excited to learn, feel proud of who they are, and have opportunities to shine both academically and artistically.

Most importantly, we want every scholar who walks through our doors to know that they are valued, they belong, and we believe in them. Our teachers and staff are ready to support, challenge, encourage, and celebrate our scholars as they learn and grow throughout the year.

Families, you are an important part of the MSA family, and your partnership matters. We look forward to working alongside you, hearing your ideas, celebrating our scholars together, and continuing to build a school community where every child can learn, grow, create, and thrive.

There is so much to look forward to this year, and I am excited about what we will accomplish together. I cannot wait to see our scholars fill our classrooms and hallways with their energy, creativity, curiosity, and joy.

Welcome back, MSA! Let’s make this a year to remember!

Create. Perform. Inspire.

Warmly,
Velma McNeil
Principal
Mound School of the Arts
