What does the Foundation mean to MLS?
Humanly speaking, without the Foundation
- In order to preserve extracurriculars we would have had cut one more professor
- In order to preserve financial assistance we would have had to cut four more professors
- We could reasonably expect enrollment to be 40 students lower
- We can still say that finances do not have to be the reason a child is not given the chance to train for the public ministry.
- We still have a strong extracurricular program and are still a member of the Tri-Valley Conference
- MLS remains a fully staffed prep school and is recommended by the PSSC to continue in that role
