Enrollment increase and grade school renovations

Not long after César Chávez opened, MPNE was renamed "The Leona Group" in honor of Bill Coates' mother, Leona Coates. This name change reflected MPNE's change in focus from a quasi-public think tank/advocacy group to a privately owned, for-profit corporation.

Upper Elementary

At some point a separate Upper Elementary complex was added on Martin just south of Michigan Avenue.It uses the former school and parish hall of Our Lady Queen of Angels Church also known as Our Lady of Guadalupe.
