We are MIGHTY proud of our varsity basketball coach and assistant athletic director, Curtis Lewis, for being named the 2026 Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) Coach of the Year for the state of Illinois. This is a tremendous honor and a reflection of his outstanding leadership and dedication to the program, school, & our student-athletes.
Tickets now on sale! This fall, Mother McAuley's championship volleyball tradition is heading outdoors. On Friday, September 18 at 7:00 p.m., Mother McAuley will host Loyola Academy in Friday Night Lights: The Crosstown Classic, a special outdoor varsity volleyball match on the school's state-of-the-art turf field.
For 70 years, Mother McAuley has stood proudly on 99th Street – a constant presence on Chicago’s southwest side and a place where generations of young women have discovered who they are and what they are capable of becoming.
But our story began long before 99th Street.
Read the summer issue of our Inscape magazine and learn more as we celebrate 70 years on 99th Street!
The Class of 2030 began their first year at McAuley with a family BBQ and two days of orientation as part of our EMPOWER: First Year Experience!
We had a MIGHTY spring sports season! Congratulations to all our student athletes.
No Comment, a 15-member, internationally-ranked a cappella group from the University of Illinois, visited Mother McAuley for a performance and Q&A session with students from our choir, orchestra, and theatre classes.
We are MIGHTY grateful that they stopped by D-Wing for this special visit!
Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
Always remember that you are mighty smart, mighty ambitious, mighty capable - MIGHTY MACS!
