Michelle Montgomery

Michelle Montgomery is the parent of two current MCS students in the class of 2029 and class of 2032.  She chose MCS because she believes that the school’s sincere commitment to diversity leads to a richer environment of growth and learning, that the progressive pedagogy creates curious, flexible, and independent thinkers, that the focus on Social-Emotional Learning creates a safe environment for identity-formation, exploration, and risk-taking, and that the focus on environmental sustainability, deconstructing bias, and activism motivates and equips our kids to build a better future.

She has been an active MCS volunteer and parent leader, serving as co-chair of the MCS Farm Festival in 2021 (and 2024) and as Parents’ Association Co-President from September 2022 until June 2024.  In the latter role, she worked to re-build community engagement in a post-covid environment, to centralize the organization of caregiver class jobs under the PA, to increase structure and formalize the relationship of parent-led committees with the PA, and to support new parent initiatives, such as the Bike Bus to MCS and MCS Jam & Open Mic.  In addition, she participated in ad-hoc task forces on Tuition and Fundraising.  Previously, Michelle worked in the international art business for over 15 years as a Gallery Director for a leading private dealer of antique French paintings, working with museums and private clients in the US, Europe and Asia.
