Did you know an MCPSS alumnus was recently named Mobile's Poet Laureate? Alex Lofton, known throughout the community as Huggy Bear da Poet, was named Mobile's 2026-27 Poet Laureate, as announced earlier this month by the Mobile Arts Council, the City of Mobile and the Alabama State Council on the Arts. Lofton, an alumnus of LeFlore Magnet High School, has sought to use his poetry for two decades to unite people across racial, social and political divides.

The Poet Laureate program celebrates the power of poetry to uplift, connect, and inspire the people of Mobile. As an ambassador for the literary arts, the Poet Laureate will use the written and spoken word to deepen community engagement, promote creative expression, and celebrate the cultural vibrancy of the city. Congratulations! #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress
