Congratulations, Bulldogs, you earned athletic wear this week! That means you had a great week, exemplified what it means to be a CHAMP, and we’re giving you a little Friday reward before Fall Break.
Just remember: Athletic Wear days come with a dress code, too. Make sure what you wear follows the expectations. If we want to keep earning athletic wear days, we need everyone to do their part and follow the guidelines set forth in the MPHS Student Handbook.
What you did this week is a great example of how consistency pays off. As Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said, “Success isn’t overnight. It’s when every day you get a little better than the day before.” Keep making good choices, and we’ll keep finding ways to recognize them.
Finish the week strong, enjoy Fall Break, and take some time to relax and recharge!
And for those of you staying in town next Friday, come out and support your Bulldogs as we take on Howard High School! Bring your friends, your school spirit, and let's pack the stands!
Have a great Friday and a fantastic Fall Break!
Go Dogs!

MP 11th Grader, Bella Grace Sanders, has been selected by State School Superintendent Richard Woods to serve on the 2026–2027 Georgia Student Advisory Council. She is one of just 84 students selected from 1,427 applicants statewide for this year’s council.
Throughout the school year, council members will meet with Superintendent Woods to share their experiences as students, discuss issues affecting education, and provide feedback on how state policies and initiatives impact Georgia’s students.
In addition to serving as student representatives, council members will act as ambassadors for the Superintendent and participate in service projects benefiting their schools and communities. These experiences provide students with opportunities to develop leadership skills, put their ideas into action, and make a meaningful contribution to the communities they serve.
The Student Advisory Council includes students from across Georgia’s Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA) regions, representing a variety of rural, suburban, and urban communities. Students are selected based on the strength of their applications, with consideration given to ensuring representation from throughout the state. More than one student from a school district may be selected.
We are proud to congratulate Bella Grace Sanders on this outstanding accomplishment and look forward to seeing the contributions she will make as a member of the 2026–2027 Georgia Student Advisory Council!

We didn’t meet our CHAMP goal this week, and unfortunately, we did not earn Athletic Wear. The good news is that one week doesn’t determine who we are as a school. We have a new opportunity next week to raise the bar and show what being a CHAMP is all about.
As Dolly Parton said, “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” We’re going to have weeks that don’t go exactly as planned, but what matters is how we respond and what we do next. Let’s make next week a great week before Fall Break!
And there is a LOT happening in Bulldog Nation! Congratulations to our Volleyball Team—the Region Champions!
Tomorrow, our football team takes on Peach County High School in a big region matchup. On Saturday, come out and support our JROTC at their Raider Meet and Competition Cheer teams, both at home! Next week, we’ll also be cheering on Softball, JV Football, and Cross Country as they compete.
Let’s finish this week strong and come back Monday ready to make it a great one.
Be Courteous. Be Honorable. Be Accountable. Be Motivated. Be Prepared. Be a CHAMP!

Mary Persons High School earned a school-record graduation rate of 95.69% for the 2025-2026 school year. That’s an increase of nearly two percentage points from 2025 and marks the seventh consecutive year above 90%.
“Our graduation rate reflects the hard work and dedication by our students, faculty and staff, administration, and community”, said Dr. Jim Finch, Monroe County Schools Superintendent . “A district’s graduation rate is one of the strongest indicators of successful student outcomes. A huge thank you to those who have helped position our school district in a way that continues to make all of us proud.”
“An excellent graduation rate is a reflection of hard work, perseverance, and a shared commitment to student success. Our students worked incredibly hard to reach this milestone, and our staff worked tirelessly to provide the support and opportunities they needed to succeed,” said Mary Persons Principal Sher Epps. “Georgia has also expanded the pathways available to students, giving more students meaningful avenues to earn a high school diploma. At Mary Persons, our continued goal is not simply to help students graduate, but to prepare them for what comes next. We are proud of our students for taking advantage of these opportunities and proud of our staff for helping prepare them for success in high school and beyond.”
Georgia’s high-school seniors also recorded an all-time-high graduation rate – and slight year-over-year improvement – in 2026. The four-year graduation rate rose to 88.5% -- up from 87.2% in 2025, and an all-time high since the state began using the adjusted cohort calculation first required in 2011 by federal law.

As we wrap up another week, remember that being a CHAMP is about the choices we make every day: Being Courteous, Honorable, Accountable, Motivated, and Prepared.
This week, we had some great examples of CHAMP behavior, but we also had some moments where we fell short of the standard. Because of that, we did not earn Athletic Wear this week. Next week is a new opportunity!
Some our Bulldogs are also not following our athletic wear dress code. Please make sure that when we earn it, you are wearing athletic wear that meets the expectations outlined in the student handbook. We want everyone to be able to participate, but continued violations may result in being dress coded. Take a moment to make sure what you're wearing meets the expectations before you come to school.
And Bulldogs, we have a BIG GAME against Troup County tomorrow! Let's show up, support our team, and represent Mary Persons with the class and sportsmanship that make us proud.
Next week, we also have several opportunities to support our friends and classmates as they compete and perform. Check the school calendar and announcements, show up when you can, and remember that being a CHAMP means supporting the people around you.
As Dwayne Johnson says, “Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency.”
Let's be consistent. Let's make good choices, support one another, and finish this week strong.

Bulldogs, you have brought the SPIRIT all week long, and it has been great seeing our halls, classrooms, and campus filled with Bulldog pride! Homecoming is about celebrating who we are as a school and creating memories together, and you have definitely brought the energy this week.
As Dwayne Johnson reminds us, “Success isn’t overnight. It’s when every day you get a little better than the day before.” Let’s keep bringing that same energy, effort, and positive attitude to everything we do.
Tomorrow, we finish Spirit Week with STAR-SPANGLED SPIRIT DAY!
⭐ Seniors – Gold
🔵 Juniors – Blue
🔴 Sophomores – Red
⚪ Freshmen – White
Show up and show out! Athletic Wear is always a part of Homecoming Week, but let’s see which class can bring the most school spirit and finish the week strong with our Homecoming Pep Rally! Get ready for some energy, some fun, and plenty of Bulldog pride as we celebrate our students, teams, and Homecoming Royalty.
And tomorrow night… WE’RE UNDER THE LIGHTS! Our Bulldogs take on Westside, and we need the student section loud, proud, and CHAMP-like from kickoff to the final whistle. Bring the energy, support your classmates, and show everyone what it means to be a Bulldog! We’ll also crown our Homecoming Royalty, so make sure you’re there to be part of the celebration! We will end our Spirit Week with the Homecoming Dance on Saturday.
Next week brings even more Bulldog events, including Softball, the Chorus Concert, Volleyball, Football, and Parent Conferences. There are plenty of ways to get involved, support your classmates, and be part of what makes MPHS special.
Finish Spirit Week strong. Celebrate responsibly. And most importantly: BE A CHAMP!

It’s been a great week at MPHS! As you look back on everything we have accomplished so far this year, be proud of the way you all have represented Mary Persons with the CHAMP spirit. The energy and positive attitudes across our school continue to make MP shine.
Enjoy your holiday next Monday and take some time to rest and recharge. When we return, though, we will be right back in the action! We have a busy week ahead with softball and football all representing the Black and Gold at home and volleyball and cross country competing away. Tomorrow night, our football team takes on Rockmart and we will celebrate our seniors at Senior Night. Don’t forget to buy your student ticket at the reduced student rate during lunch tomorrow! We encourage you to come out, support your classmates, and be part of the excitement. There is nothing quite like seeing our Bulldog family come together to cheer on our teams!
Looking ahead, the SAT will be administered at Mary Persons next Saturday. Students, please continue to pay attention to the SAT and ACT dates posted on our video boards throughout the school. If you have questions about registration, testing dates, or which test may be right for you, please reach out to your counselor. Taking the initiative to plan ahead can make a big difference when it comes to your future.
As you head into the long weekend, remember that challenges and opportunities are both part of the journey. Keep working, keep pushing forward, and don't let something that seems difficult today convince you that it can't be accomplished.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” — Nelson Mandela
Enjoy your Friday in ATHLETIC WEAR and then have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend! Rest up, recharge, and come back ready to make next week another great one. Stay Courteous. Stay Honorable. Stay Accountable. Stay Motivated. Stay Prepared.

Congratulations to Joseph Allen for making All-State Theatre. He will represent Mary Persons in the opening and closing numbers of the annual Georgia Thespian Conference in February. #CHAMP
As we wrap up the week, we want to take a moment to recognize the many ways you have continued to show what it means to be a CHAMP, being Courteous, Honorable, Accountable, Motivated, and Prepared. The way you represent yourselves, your classmates, and Mary Persons High School matters, and we appreciate the positive energy we have seen throughout our school.

One of the best examples of that Bulldog spirit has been our student sections at athletic events. Thank you to everyone who has been showing up, making some noise, and supporting your fellow Bulldogs! Your energy in the stands makes a difference for our athletes and coaches, and it is great to see you supporting one another. Keep showing up and showing out!
We have several opportunities coming up next week to get out and support our teams. We have home football and softball events, so make plans to come out!
And next Friday night is a big one; it is our first home football game of the season AND Senior Night! Come out, support our team, and help us celebrate our seniors as we recognize all they have contributed to Mary Persons.
You have earned athletic wear for tomorrow, so enjoy it! However, remember that athletic wear does not mean dress code expectations no longer apply. Please make sure your clothing still meets the guidelines for the day. Shirts and shorts must be an appropriate length for all students. Take a moment before you leave home tomorrow to make sure what you are wearing meets the guidelines. We want everyone to enjoy the day while continuing to represent Mary Persons with pride.
Thank you for another great week, Bulldogs. Keep making good choices, keep supporting each other, and continue to show everyone what CHAMP looks like.
Have a great Friday!

Because of the way you represented Mary Persons this week, you have earned Athletic Wear for tomorrow! Wear it proudly and remember that it represents the standards we expect from our Bulldogs every day.
As Vince Lombardi famously said, “Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes a team work.” This week, you showed what it means to be part of a team and part of the Bulldog family.

Softball plays at home this upcoming Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Cross Country competes in the Bulldog Classic next Saturday, and Volleyball’s next home matches are the week of the 24th! Make plans to attend their competitions and let them know that MPHS supports ALL of our teams!
As Kobe Bryant said, “The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.”
That is what being a Bulldog is about: Supporting our friends and teams, giving our best, and making our school better together.
Remember what it means to be a CHAMP:
Courteous
Honorable
Accountable
Motivated

Let’s finish Week 2 strong and show everyone what Bulldog pride looks like! And do it in your ATHLETIC WEAR because you earned it! Go DOGS! 🐾🖤💛

What a fantastic first week back at Mary Persons High School!
Seeing our hallways filled with energy and Bulldog pride has been a great reminder of what makes our school so special. Whether you are a freshman finding your way around campus or a senior beginning your final year at MPHS, you have helped make this first week a tremendous success.
More importantly, I want to thank you for the outstanding CHAMP behavior you have demonstrated throughout the week. I have witnessed students showing new students around, showing kindness and respect to teachers and peers, arriving prepared, and on time, for class, and making responsible choices. These actions may seem small, but together they create the positive school culture we all want to be a part of.
Our CHAMP expectations of being Courteous, Honorable, Accountable, Motivated, and Prepared are more than just words. They are the standard that defines who we are as Bulldogs, and you have represented that standard exceptionally well.
As author and leadership expert John C. Maxwell said,
"People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude."
Your positive attitudes and commitment to doing the right thing have set the tone for this school year!
Thank you for making our campus a welcoming, respectful, and positive place to learn. We are proud of the way you have started the year, and we encourage you to build on this momentum. Continue choosing kindness, working hard in your classes, and living out the CHAMP expectations every day.
Let's make next week even better than the first and finish this one out strong by celebrating our first ATHLETIC WEAR DAY! Remember shirt and hem lengths-don’t get Athletic Wear dress-coded! Reminder to check your email and MPHS Instagram each Thursday by 5:00 pm for your Athletic Wear Announcement.
Have a great Friday!
