Dear MGA Families,
In times of difficulty, communities reveal their true strength. As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” This truth has been at the heart of Monarch Global Academy over the past several days.
It was with profound sadness when I shared the sudden passing of one of our beloved staff members, Mrs. Rhonda Owen. Mrs. Owen was an extraordinary educator whose passion for teaching was absolutely infectious. She devoted her career to ensuring that students with disabilities received the exceptional education they deserve. Her warmth, dedication, and unwavering belief in every child made a lasting impact on our school. We will miss her dearly, but we are comforted knowing she is in a better place.
During this incredibly difficult time, I want to express my deep and heartfelt gratitude to our MGA families and the entire community. Your kindness, your messages, your support for our students and staff, and the way you have wrapped your arms around our school have strengthened us more than you know. We are truly lifted by your compassion.
As we move forward together, please continue to keep Mrs. Owen’s family, our staff, and our students in your thoughts. We will honor her legacy by continuing the work she loved so deeply, which was supporting students, celebrating their strengths, and advocating for every learner.
Thank you again for being a community that shows up, stands together, and cares so deeply. We are stronger because of you.
With gratitude,
April Murphy
Principal, Monarch Global Academy
