MISSION STATEMENT

The faculty and administration of Mount Pleasant strive to pursue academic excellence in all aspects of student teaching and learning.  We believe in the capacity of all students to develop their academic skills and intrinsic motivation for learning.  Through the development of a rigorous program of study, our students are empowered to achieve at the highest level.  We work to continually develop, implement, and measure progress toward the standards which are aligned with the school district mission statement and the State of Delaware.

Mount Pleasant is a comprehensive high school located in the northern suburbs of Wilmington. There are approximately 1,000 students enrolled in grades 9 through 12.  Mount Pleasant High School has been part of the Brandywine School District since 1978.

GOALS

As the first public school in the state of Delaware accepted for the International Baccalaureate program we continue to provide academic challenges at the highest level.  Our primary goal in all our academic areas is to provide integrated curriculum opportunities which meet the diverse needs of our students.  As responsible informed citizens, our students are taught to be self-directed learners who contribute to a global society.  Inservice programs directed toward training teachers appropriately for the delivery of effective instruction are an integral part of our continued growth as a school.

Alma Mater [Listen]
Hail! All hail to thee, Mount Pleasant
Loud thy praises ring.
May God's blessings smile upon thee,
We, her students sing.
May the brightness of her glory,
Never, never fail.
We are true to thee, Mount Pleasant.
Hail! To thee all hail!
