Be Prepared: Grades 9-12

High School at MRA is where it all starts to click. Where character, curiosity, creativity, and courage come to life. It’s where students begin to take ownership of their learning and step confidently into what’s ahead.

Students here don’t just go through the motions - they ask questions, chase ideas, and start to see who they’re becoming. Each day brings new chances to grow, stretch, and step into what’s next, all in a Christ-centered community that knows them, supports them, and is cheering them on every step of the way.

College Prep Academics

At MRA, learning is about more than grades - it’s about what comes next. Honors, AP, and dual credit courses push students to think critically, tackle real problems, and communicate with confidence.

And it doesn’t stop there. Hands-on programs like Bio-Medical Sciences bring learning off the page and into the real world, helping students connect what they’re learning to where they’re headed. MRA students are prepared for college...and for life!

Arts, Athletics, & More

There’s a whole lot more to MRA than what happens in the classroom. From arts and athletics to clubs and service, students dive in, try new things, and discover what they love while making friendships that stick.

And woven into it all is chapel, Bible study, and serving others, helping students grow in faith, character, and leadership in a way that feels real and lived out every day. It’s the kind of growth that goes with them long after they leave MRA.

Dual Credit

Dual Credit lets MRA juniors and seniors get a jump on college, earning high school and college credit at the same time. With at least 14 high school credits, a 3.0 GPA, and the required ACT scores, students are set up to succeed from day one.

These courses are taught right here on campus by our MRA teachers, all of whom are also adjunct college professors. In partnership with Mississippi College and Belhaven University, students tackle real college-level work without leaving campus - a head start that builds confidence, skills, and momentum for what’s next.

College Counseling

At MRA, college counseling is all about helping students find the right fit and feel confident every step of the way. From on-campus visits and interviews with leading colleges to personalized guidance on applications, our team is there to make the process clear, manageable, and even exciting.

We also support students in navigating scholarships, essays, and deadlines, making sure every opportunity is within reach. The goal? To equip each student with the tools, insight, and confidence they need to step into their next chapter with purpose and excitement.

Community Service

At MRA, community service is a chance to make a difference. Following Christ’s example, students learn to serve Him by serving others, seeing firsthand how their actions can change lives. Along the way, they discover new skills, take on responsibility, and step into leadership.

Students complete at least 40 hours of service (10 hours a year), diving into projects that matter - whether volunteering, leading initiatives, or lending a helping hand. Through it all, they grow in character, compassion, and gratitude, learning what it means to give back and make the most of the gifts and opportunities they’ve been given.

There is something so special about the energy and excitement on our campus! We are home to 400 amazing students who bring their best every single day.

From the excitement of mastering a new challenge to the quiet moments of growing in faith, our students truly care for each other. That genuine spirit of honor and kindness is what makes our community feel exactly like home.
