Last week, we officially welcomed the Class of 2030 to our school during Freshmen Registration Night! Incoming freshmen and their families had the opportunity to select their courses for next year, meet with faculty & current Mighty Macs, and much more.
We are MIGHTY excited for the Class of 2030 to join us on 99th Street in the Fall!
Mother McAuley has been named a Premier Community for Theatre Education, a national distinction presented by the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) to schools that demonstrate exceptional achievement in providing meaningful, high quality theatre education and access for all students. McAuley is one of only 15 schools to receive this three-year recognition, and the only in the Chicagoland area.
Mother McAuley High School will host the school’s annual Fore the Macs Golf Outing on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at Ridge Country Club. The annual fundraiser benefits the Tradition of Excellence Scholarship at McAuley through a day of golf, fellowship and philanthropy. The 2025 event raised more than $136,000 in scholarships for the incoming freshman class.
At this year’s event, McAuley is honored to present the 2026 Caring Heart Award to the Danny Did Foundation, recognizing its commitment to protecting individuals living with epilepsy and preventing deaths caused by seizures through education, advocacy and access to life-saving technology.
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. Set beneath the lights and surrounded by students, families, alumnae and neighbors, the event will transform the McAuley campus into a celebration of competition, school spirit and community.
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!
