Pattonville High School senior Miguel “Miggy” Perez can say something that no one else at school can say — he’s a professional soccer player. In February, Perez signed a three-year Major League Soccer (MLS) homegrown contract to play on the St. Louis City SC team as a midfielder. A MLS homegrown contract allows teams to sign local players from their own development academies.
“It’s always been my dream to play professional soccer, but playing for my hometown, it’s even more special because I can inspire little kids and keep letting them know that it’s possible,” Perez said.
Each year, Pattonville School District honors those who serve in the district with its Pride of Pattonville award. These awards are given to recognize excellence in performance, service, character and contributions demonstrated by those who serve in the Pattonville School District. Any district employee, parent, volunteer or other friend of Pattonville is eligible to receive a Pride of Pattonville honor. Nominations can be submitted online at www.psdr3.org/nominate and paper nomination forms are available throughout the district.
