Mountain Park's mission statement is Learn to Think! Think to Learn! This mission guides our work. In addition to exemplary performance on both normed and criterion referenced tests, our students and school have been recognized for accomplishments in other areas e.g.: Georgia Young Author's Competition, Fulton Technology Competition, Fulton County Spelling Bee, PTA Reflections, Evergreen School, Adopt-A-Stream and Energy Star awards. Staff members have been recognized as the Georgia Gifted Teacher of the Year and Fulton County Counselor of the Year. Teachers have received numerous grants and have been selected for leadership opportunities in the district.

Aligned with our mission statement of "Learn to Think, Think to Learn", it is our goal to foster students who love to learn and are critical thinkers. Through our implementation of the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM), based on the work of Joseph Renzulli, students are challenged to go beyond the Common Core Curriculum and become navigators of their own learning. The Schoolwide Enrichment Model's $20,000+ budget is completely funded by parent donations and enables us to bring gifted pedagogy to all students.
