Engaging minds, pursuing Christ, and discovering greatness are the basic tenets Midland Classical Academy holds dear. Believing that our students will go places far and wide upon graduation, MCA affords them the opportunity to take part in our Discovering Greatness program so that they can be confident as they go out to represent the Kingdom.  

In this program, the students continue their pursuit of quality servant leadership skills through learning about etiquette, which derives from French for “ticket.” This ticket gives us the privilege of interacting with others, and it allows each of us to pursue Christ in putting others first by showing them consideration and serving them. 

Students also put into practice the servant leadership tenets that were learned during their sophomore Rhetoric class. This includes exploring their spiritual gifts and personality types, as well as those of their classmates, in order to become a cohesive group of leaders for MCA who can also reach out and impact our Midland/Odessa community. Additionally, it provides a chance for feedback as they become first year RT leaders in the MCA community.  

The students will be introduced to leaders in the wider Permian Basin community who will help them become acquainted with the values and needs in our local area. This will, prayerfully, allow the students to find the places God has for them to serve in their community and see why He has placed them in the Permian Basin and at MCA for such a time as this! 
 
“But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.”  Matthew 23:11 
 
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”  Mark 10:45 

The culmination of this class is Knight Night. This Junior-Senior Banquet is a celebration honoring our seniors and recognizing participation in Discovering Greatness during the junior year. Students are required to meet the participation and attendance expectations in Discovering Greatness during their junior year as a requirement for attending Knight Night. This dress-up dinner and festivities is a night not to be missed and also a night which younger students look forward to.
