Innovation Center - a 23,000-plus
square foot addition to the current
Dozier Hall high school building. The
new space, which opened spring
semester 2022, provides state-ofthe
art innovative learning spaces,
from a dedicated robotics field for the
State-championship-winning Eagle
Robotics teams; to new science labs; a
digital lab; a makerspace; a fabrication
lab; a collegiate-style, technology-rich
classroom; and a permanent home for
Roost Coee Co., a coee shop that is
operated entirely by the high school
entrepreneurship class.
Prospective families are always
welcome to arrange a tour of the
MPCS campus - either in-person or
virtual - to learn first-hand why the
school continues to be selected as
the Best of Cobb. Parents Vince and
Shelley Ray said, “We would
encourage any family to visit MPCS.
Go for a tour. Talk to other MPCS
families. Attend an athletic event or
arts production so you can
experience the amazing culture of
the school. MPCS is worth the
investment for your children’s
education and future!”
