News & Announcements

'Tis the Season to be giving! We'd like to take an opportunity to help a few families in need this Christmas season. Like last year, MCP is partnering up with Big Brothers/Big Sisters to help some local families in need. Each class has been assigned a family. Below you will find the links to sign up. We understand that families have different abilities to help - so please don't feel pressure to sign up if it does not work for your family this year. We just ask that if you are unable to help you offer up some prayers for the family. Items may be dropped off to the front office no later than Tuesday, December 12th. We appreciate your consideration and wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Please click the link for the list of items.

Finals begin on Friday, December 15th and run through Thursday, December 21st – depending on your student's classes. You might have some questions and we hope this helps explain the schedule.

MCP will be hosting a one-day sale on our branded merchandise on Thursday, December 7th in the MCP gym at break, flex, lunch, and if supplies last - right after school. We will be offering Christmas styles, clearance prices on older styles and limited quantity items, and will have winter styles available. Cash and credit card sales will be accepted. Stop by the MCP gym to buy some great stocking stuffers!

Today we are reaching out to everyone to help find a home for an international student from Spain who is set to join us at MCP for the second semester. She is a junior and will only be here for the Spring semester before she returns home to finish her secondary schooling. If you have ever wanted to host an international student now is the time. This young lady is amazing, and is very excited about the opportunity to be at Mission College Prep. If we don't find her a host family, unfortunately we will not be able to attend MCP. If you know of anyone or would like more information please contact Ryan Weisenberg at 805-543-2131 or email at [email protected].

Mark your calendars for the annual Mission Prep Christmas Classic Basketball Tournament hosted in the MCP gym starting Tuesday, December 19-22. Teams from all around the nation come to compete in this basketball tournament. Click the link for more information.

MCP is excited to announce that we would like to bring back our participation in the annual Catholic Youth Day in Anaheim. Every year Catholic youth come together for the first day of LA Congress to meet other believers, celebrate mass together, listen to speakers, worship and fellowship. This year Youth Day 2024 is on Thursday, February 15th at the Anaheim Convention Center. The theme is "Your Path Awaits". We are sending out this "Interest Form" to see if our students are interested in pursuing this opportunity. Total cost to families for participation would amount to about $100/student (includes admission to Congress, transportation and hotel accommodations). We would leave MCP after school on Wednesday, February 14th and return the evening of February 15th. In order to get an idea of the number of students who might want to participate we are inviting MCP students to fill out the linked google form. If you have questions or if you would like to volunteer as the Parent Coordinator, please email Mrs. Buresh at [email protected].
