Our Leadership
Milwaukee Collegiate Academy leaders are a passionate group of individuals committed to changing the world by sending scholars to and through college.

Samantha Mewes
College Coach and Counselor
I have worked as MCA’s College Coach and Counselor for the past 9 school years. I am a firm believer in our mission of sending our kids to and through college and feel that it is the best way for them to be able to live the lives they want to live when they get older. I get excited for the opportunity to teach them about college, expose them to college and help them believe that it is something that they can and will do when they graduate from high school.

Judith Parker
Principal
I am luckiest Principal in Milwaukee as I have scholars, parents, and staff who are deeply committed to MCA’s vision of nurturing scholars capable of transforming their world by going to and through college. Although I was born and raised in Chicago and spent 13 years with amazing educators of Chicago’s Public School System, I have come to love and appreciate the generosity of Milwaukee’s educational community.

Philip Smith
Dean of Teaching and Learning
After many years in the classroom, I am thrilled to be a part of the leadership team here at MCA. We are in the business of closing opportunity gaps and I am responsible for developing the systems, programs, and relationships that will allow our scholars to show that with opportunities and equity, anything is possible.
