Welcome to MPE's Student Pages!

This webpage is dedicated to all high school homeschoolers who wish to submit articles for the homeschooling community. 

Michael Farris, president of Patrick Henry College and founder of HSLDA, said in his speech "Restoring American Values" at MPE's 2001 Conference, "If you want to take the culture, you've got to train the storytellers."

Here on Student Pages, we aim to give the next generation of storytellers encouragement, feedback and support to take back the culture...one story at a time.

The Excellence In Writing IV high school homeschool students mastered a marketing project by recently surveying 140 homeschool families in our community. As a team, they were able to provide very informative data & trends!

*Find out the percentage of students homeschooled in elementary grades, middle school grades & high school grades.

*Although it was evident that the majority of all core academic classes were taught at home, find out what academic classes homeschoolers take outside the home?

*What are the percentages of families involved in co-ops?

*What is the most popular sport?

*How many homeschool children take music lessons? Which ones are the most popular?

"Peter turned and saw Malachi standing behind them. "You have done well," he said. ... "There will be many more such battles you will fight in your lifetime. But, as you both have discovered," said Malachi, looking pointedly at Bryan and Peter, "you cannot ever win on your own strength. The battle belongs to the Lord."

Bryan and Peter thought about this for a long moment. Finally, Bryan spoke. "Will things go back to normal?"

Malachi nodded. "Yes. You will once again not be able to see us...or them. But," he raised a cautionary finger, "you must remember this: demons will always look for a chance to destroy you...or take your will captive." He looked long at Bryan. "You both know how to defeat them. Do so." "

"Dating and courting: these two ideas are much alike but very different as well. Courting was a term used more in the past than today. Now people are dating and it's not always a long-term relationship. ... Let's look further into the world of dating in today's society. ..."
