Miss Letty retired on December 18, 2009
Letty Peredo, high school teacher and assistant to the administration for 33 years, retired from M.A.S. at the end of December. She looks forward to spending more time with her husband and children, and enjoying the sunny climate of Cuernavaca. We are grateful to her for all her years of dedication and hard work, and wish her the best in all her new projects. (In the photo: Miss Letty on her last day at school with students and Miss Mónica)
Miss María Luisa
La comunidad de alumnos y exalumnos así como todo el personal académico de la Escuela Moderna Americana se unen a la pena que embarga a la familia y amigos de Miss María Luisa debido a su sensible fallecimiento el 30 de octubre de 2008. Sus restos serán velados hoy en la Funeraria Gayosso de Felix Cuevas.
Miss María Luisa García Cardelle fue sin lugar a duda uno de los pilares de la Escuela Moderna Americana, donde trabajó durante 52 años, últimamente ocupando el cargo de Directora de Español del Departamento de Primaria.
Descanse en paz.

MAS Photo Collection
There's a new album with 1037 photos that were scanned from the Modern American School repository. It's a mixed collection of photos from several generations. I've enabled comments for this album, and I'd like to invite all the Modern American School community to browse through the photos and add comments if they know the origin, event, date or the names of people that appear in the photos. Enjoy!
Update: The photos will be unavailable until further notice.
MAS Photo Gallery Update
As you may have noticed, the MAS Photo Gallery is not hosted within masalumni.org. Being an external site it has separate maintenance costs, covered by Jorge Juan Gómez (Class of 1996). Due to increased activity in the gallery, my current hosting plan will no longer suffice to handle the added load, and I'd need to move to a more expensive plan to cover the additional costs. Because of this, effective July 23, 2009 the photo service will be suspended. Although there are many public photo sharing sites out there it wouldn't feel right to share all the MAS photos on a public server. Feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions.
Please note that all donations that have been made are exclusively for hosting masalumni.org. They are collected by alumnichannel.com's owner, who provides hosting for this site. masalumni.org will remain unaffected by this situation.
New Books Site
There's a new site with a list of all the books that MAS alumni have recommended in the forums. It's available at:
Additional details are available in this post. Update (Sept. 1st, 2007): Corrected an issue affecting ratings. Users who rated books in the past week should rate them again. Sorry.
New Job Board
Use this Job Board to reach today's best and brightest minds. Just advertise your job posting and let potential Modern American School candidates contact you for details. Job seekers should find quality jobs in this board.
