A big THANK YOU to John McCall of McCall Architecture Management for inspiring our Odyssey of the Mind (OM) middle school team this week! 👏
Mr. McCall showed how engineering concepts like structural loads, motion, and design apply to real-world examples such as bridges, buildings, and other architectural structures. 🏗️ His insights gave our students valuable knowledge and fresh ideas to carry into their OM projects.
We’re grateful for partners like Mr. McCall who spark curiosity and push our students to think big! 🙌

✨ Meet a Bulldog: Staff Spotlight✨
Say hello to Dr. Retha Lee, the 6-12 Instructional Coach. Dr. Lee has 30 years experience in education. She is in her first year back at MPMS, but this isn’t her first Bulldog experience—she proudly worked here for 12 years before returning! “Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog. I am back where I belong!”
✨ Best part of the job:
“Seeing that ‘aha’ moment on a teacher’s or student’s face—when something clicks and they truly understand a concept or make a connection. I love watching teachers and students grow not just academically, but in confidence, curiosity, and creativity. Those small victories—questions asked, ideas shared, risks taken—make all the hard work worth it.”
📚 Fun fact/hobby: Reading and birdwatching.
💡 Advice for students:
“Be curious, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes—your mistakes are just stepping stones to understanding.”
🦸 Superpower of choice:
The ability to instantly understand and speak every language. “Communication is the bridge to understanding, empathy, and connection. Imagine being able to talk to anyone, read any text, or access any culture’s knowledge instantly—that would make learning and helping others limitless!”
💜 Favorite MPMS memory:
8th grade girls’ sleepovers at the old MPMS.
We’re so lucky to have Dr. Lee guiding our Bulldog teachers AND students! 🐾💛
