We are proud of our student-athletes who continue to grow into model citizens in our community. These students and their fami- lies are often your most frequent customers. Every sponsorship or advertising dollar that you, an important member of our com- munity, provide directly supports MRA Athletics.

We recognize that each student-athlete has been uniquely created by God, and that each student-athlete is a steward of those God-given tal- ents and gifts. On a daily basis, we will encourage these young people to refine and develop individual talents while learning to be great teammates. We offer a variety of sports to challenge many interests, and our facilities are unmatched in the metro area. Our coaching staff is dedicated to each child’s development, and in turn, our athletic success.

Students can choose to participate in any of 17 different sports throughout the school year. MRA is an MAIS Class 6A program. The Patriots have won 26 State Championships in the last five years.

At every athletic event, hundreds of students, families, and community members from all over Mississippi and the south-east enter our campus. Corporate Sponsorship is a great tool to support the Patriots while promoting your business!
