M.Paula Phillips

My story is like many other first generation Milwaukeeans. My parents came to this country and worked hard so that my sister and I could have a better life than they could have ever dreamed of for themselves. They taught me discipline, hard work, and service to family, community, and country. They also understood that a good education would make a huge difference in their children’s lives.

I'm running for Milwaukee Public School Board of Directors because my success has been rooted in great education and I want all of our kids to have high-quality schools.

As a school board director, I will advocate for the success of every child in the district through supporting our educators, strengthening our community partnerships, and protecting the future of public education.
