On Wednesday, March 22, 2023 the Mount Airy High School Concert Band traveled to the Northwest District North Carolina Bandmasters Association (NWNCBA) Music Performance Adjudication (MPA). This event is hosted annually at Lenoir-Rhyne University in March. This is the first time since the 1980s that Mount Airy has performed at the MPA and the first time since 1979 that the band has achieved straight superior ratings. This feat showcases the dedication of these students and their first year band director, Nick Tirpak.

Welcome to Mount Airy High School

band
     Mount Airy High School is consistently in the top ten school systems in North Carolina with the lowest Drop-Out Rate and the highest Graduation Cohort Rate. We strive to give our students classes and opportunities that will enhance their chances of success after high school graduation. We have approximately 548 students in grades 9-12. We do not let our size limit the opportunities that we provide to our students. Our students are academically competitive with students from very large high schools. Last year, our seniors were awarded over 1.5 million dollars in scholarships. The mission of the Mount Airy City Schools is to deliver a superior curriculum that establishes a foundation of knowledge and empowers students to choose their future and experience success. We will provide a safe, supportive, and stimulating learning environment that motivates and develops the confidence and persistence necessary for students to meet the challenges of education, work, and life. At Mount Airy High School we make this a reality.
