Be Part of the Legacy
At MRA, traditions are the moments that turn school days into stories worth telling. From a child’s first steps on campus to a senior’s final walk, each tradition connects generations and reminds students they’re part of something bigger.
Every tradition at MRA is an invitation—to show up, join in, and make it your own. These moments don’t just mark time; they shape it, building confidence, deepening friendships, and pointing students back to what matters most. As each class adds its own chapter, our traditions continue to grow, weaving together faith, community, and the shared experience of being a Patriot!

These Are Moments That Become
Memories
Our littlest Patriots are welcomed with pure magic—from the Fairy Tale Parade for new students to the always-adorable Kindergarten Hoedown and themed days that make learning unforgettable.

As students grow, traditions grow right along with them: singing the Fight Song on Fridays, packing the gym for pep rallies, and ending each one with a loud, proud Two Bits.
Middle School house competitions bring energy and friendly rivalry, while elementary Field Day is all about teamwork, laughter, and sunshine. High School Homecoming competitions spark fun, fierce competition, and unforgettable class spirit.

Homecoming Games
And when Lil’ Pats cheer and dance at a football game, they’re already imagining the day they’ll take center stage themselves. And our little boys? On Elementary Night, they burst through the tunnel and helmet ahead of the team, already picturing the day they’ll run out under the lights as Patriot football players themselves.

Making Memories
Some traditions remind us just how far students have come—and who’s cheering them on.
At the Bigs and Littles Graduation Celebration on the football field, seniors stand beside our youngest graduates in a full-circle moment that never fails to bring smiles (and maybe a few happy tears).
Each year, our high school Back-to-School Assembly closes with the poem Little Eyes Are Watching, a favorite reminder that leadership matters in the everyday moments. It’s a message so important, you’ll even find those words on one of our campus buildings.
Senior Chapel is always a favorite, as seniors share God’s blessings through creative cardboard testimonials—celebrating faith, growth, gratitude, and the journey that brought them here.
Even more special are the traditions that bring big kids and little kids together—football players opening car doors in kindergarten carpool, Baseball Buddies laughing on the playground, high school chess players mentoring elementary students, and big girls teaching little girls dance and cheer. These are the moments that shape our culture and remind everyone that little eyes are always watching.
