Celebrating 50 years of service
MIGHTY congratulations to Sr. Nancy Houlihan, RSM, on her 50th Jubilee as a Sister of Mercy
Anything but typical. She is kind and compassionate. She is a problem solver and a future-ready leader. She doesn't just fit in, she stands out. Empowered by our dynamic curricular offerings and talented faculty, she steps out of her comfort zone to discover her best self.
Our rigorous curriculum raises the bar for academic success. We offer the very best combination of a college-prep and liberal arts program.
A Mighty Mac enjoys limitless opportunities. She explores fearlessly, confident in the guidance provided by teachers, counselors and coaches.
The first step in the admissions process is to take the Entrance Exam at Mother McAuley. If you were unable to join us and didn't test at any other Catholic school on December 7, you can register for our Make-up Entrance Exam on Saturday, December 14, 2024.
Your support is key to helping students enter doors full of opportunities that stretch their minds and imagination, so they may develop confidence and new abilities.
