Mother McAuley students participated in Advocate Christ Medical Center's annual art contest to expand its permanent art collection. Students from Mother McAuley received various awards, and some of their artwork was even chosen for the hospital's permanent collection. Congratulations to our talented student artists!
Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
Always remember that you are mighty smart, mighty ambitious, mighty capable - MIGHTY MACS!
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.
Audrey Hart '26 was named a Backstage Finalist for Props Design & Management. Jonah Groff, who played the role of Joseph, was named a Finalist for Best Performer in an Actor Role.
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!
Graduates and families of the Class of 2026 gathered together in the auditorium for an evening of prayer and celebration ahead of graduation for our traditional Baccalaureate Mass. Calli Edwards '26 was named the Sister Brian Costello Award recipient, and shared a beautiful reflection with all in attendance.
