Medgar Evers College Preparatory School’s mission is to provide our diverse student population with a rigorous education which includes co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. MECPS will provide a supportive environment that recognizes individual learning styles and strengths. This initiative will ultimately support student’s self-development, increase self-esteem, instill intellectual curiosity, and develop a love for lifelong learning. Each student will be given the opportunity to become active participants and contributors to their local and global communities.

MECPS will provide students with the support and opportunities that will encourage them to pursue careers in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology; areas in which minorities are severely under-represented. These young people will be prepared to face the ever evolving challenges of the 21st century.
