MCA Serves At-risk Students MCA serves students, 15 and older, who face adverse barriers toward achieving a high school diploma and career training. MCA serves not only students but their families as well.

MCA Brings the Community to Students MCA’s Parent Resource Center, Mentorship Program and community partners work with students, family and community members.

Parent Resource Center is a family focused program enabling parents and family members to become more involved with their children’s education.

Mentorship Program connects students and caring individuals. Mentors provide support, advice and friendship. They also serve as positive role models.

Community Partners provide a network of supportive services between the school and the community.

A 10,000 sq. ft. Medical Clinic is included. This will be staffed with medical professionals (physicians, dentists, nurses, mental health counselors). This clinic will serve the students and the neighborhood.

Part of the building is to have a “green” roof with “soil” and plants on the roof which can be assessed by the students and others.

A “geo-thermal” heating and cooling system using the latest technology of heat exchanging with multiple deep wells for energy efficiency.

Fred Quinn, founder of Quinn + Associates, said his firm designed each inch of Metro Career Academy to create a strong learning environment that focused on earth-friendly features. “Designing a LEED-certified building is a unique challenge”, Quinn said. “You must combine beauty and usability while showcasing energy-savings features. I’m proud to know the building went from a sketch to a tool that will create bright futures for Oklahoma City area students.”
