MEP Partner: Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD)


The Madison Metropolitan School District has a simple but bold vision—that every school will be a thriving school that prepares every student to graduate from high school ready for college, career and community. MMSD is focused on becoming a model urban school district that serves children and families through strategic capacity-building, establishing a culture of excellence, and striving for equity for all students. (The MMSD Strategic Framework elaborates the District’s vision and goals.)
