We are MIGHTY proud to congratulate Ms. Ozana Paraga on receiving the Educator of the Year Award!
The Educator of the Year is an award voted on by the Class of 2025. After reflecting on their four years, students were asked to think of an educator who is an outstanding teacher, who shows commitment to all students, and who has been instrumental in their growth as young women. The Class of 2025 selected Ms. Ozana Paraga of our World Languages Department as its Educator of the Year.
The Mother McAuley Visual Arts & Technology Department invites 5th, 6th and 7th grade students (girls and boys) to submit and exhibit their artwork in the Junior high section of McAuley's Artapalooza.
