At MCPASD, our mission is to know our students’ stories and build upon their strengths to inspire them locally so they are prepared globally. Our vision is to engage, empower, and evolve.

The Cardinal’s Journey is our Future Preparedness Framework that brings this mission and vision to life. It is designed to help students grow into deeply rooted learners who are connected to their community and ready to thrive in an ever-changing, interconnected world.

The framework is shaped by two key components: the Cardinal Mindset and the Cardinal Foundations. The Cardinal Mindset guides how students learn and grow, helping them stay curious, connect with others, understand themselves, and take responsibility for their choices. The Cardinal Foundations equip students with the essential skills needed to express ideas effectively, work collaboratively, think critically, solve problems, and adapt to new challenges with confidence.

Through the Cardinal’s Journey, every student is supported in becoming a capable, compassionate, and future-ready individual.
