Director’s Message: Welcome Dragons to the 2023-2024 Academic Year at MLWGS

Assistant Director and Director observe student arrival to school

I consider it a privilege to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year at MLWGS!  This is going to be an exciting and rewarding year!

As you know, you are part of a student body that is unparalleled in its talent and generosity.  Each year we seem to outdo ourselves and reach even higher levels of achievement.  The quality of the entire MLWGS community is the core of our school and what makes this a special place.  We look forward to traveling with you on your journey toward graduation and beyond.  Best wishes for another fantastic school year.

I’ll be at the bus loop to greet the Dragons on Monday, August 21st. 

Go Dragons!
