Every student is an important piece of the MacArthur community, and together, they’re building something amazing.

Shining a spotlight on one of Seymour Rogers Middle School’s very own—Mr. Morgan! 🌟

Originally hailing from Oregon, Mr. Morgan earned his degree from Bemidji State University and completed his ESOL endorsement at Newman University. With 9 of his 12 years in education dedicated right here to our district, he serves as a cornerstone of our school community—not only in the classroom, but also as the Director of the Apache Advantage After-School Program! 🎓🏆

Yesterday in class, his 7th graders collaborated to build their class Social Contract, using the core words GROWTH and MINDSET to set the tone for respect, teamwork, and success this year. 💡✨
