Mount Madonna School has always valued community service, both in concept and practice. MMS was built, literally and figuratively, by volunteers. Service is a component of Positive Character Development and Creative Self’expression.
Middle and high school students volunteer, both during school hours and after school, in ways that are meaningful to them.
Chaperones for MMS Dances: Parents/Guardians, in addition to faculty members, are needed to chaperone Middle and High School Dances throughout the school year.
Our dances are fun for all and we do ask that music, dancing and language be appropriate for all age levels of attendees. Below is a list of guidelines to be followed.
We’re excited to announce that we now have wireless access in some locations at the Upper Campus!
We’re still experimenting with how best to utilize this new tool and how to easily and reliably allow students to use their own devices to do school work while on campus. We also have a new laptop cart with 20 machines that can be used if a student doesn’t have their own device they want to bring to use.
We encourage families to talk with their children if they bring any electronic devices to school about how to keep them safe and secure. We do have lockers available to all students who would like one.

The shuttle Endeavour, on its way to its new home at a Los Angeles science museum, flew over the Monterey Bay atop a 747 jumbo jet in the morning on Friday, September 21. MMS students came out of their classrooms to catch a glimpse of the shuttle, which was carried at very low-altitude. In fact, students on campus on the mountain actually looked down on the shuttle as it passed along the fog layer over the bay.
Wed, Nov 18, the school will be testing our Power Announce system. Expect to receive a test message at your email, phone and text (if you have designated texting). There is no need to respond to the message or alert liaisons.
This is our procedure for letting everyone know when School Closure happens or emergencies. We call school for the following reasons:
Three highly-qualified new teachers, Parunee Kaosayapandhu, Oscar Perez and Sandy Shaw, have joined the faculty at Mount Madonna School (MMS).
Congratulations to Mount Madonna sophomore Carlo LeGan, whose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills earned him first place gold in a 10-0 shut-out final match at the recent Rising Sun National Tournament in Daly City. This August 25 event marked Carlo’s fourth consecutive shut-out tournament (no points scored against him).
