Welcome Mighty Macs!
The Sisters of Mercy, our dedicated faculty and staff, amazing students, and YOU, our alumnae, are the true core of Mother McAuley High School. We are thrilled to have over 29,000 alumnae who have received the Lifetime Advantage of a McAuley education! Each one of you is fearlessly making a difference globally, in our community, and right here on 99th Street.
We strive to develop events and programs for all alumnae to feel welcome to come back home to McAuley. It is here within these walls that your wonderful experiences transformed you and prepared you to be Future Ready. We hope you continue to partner with us by sharing your stories, sending your daughters, supporting our missions, and living Mercy every day. We are ignited by your spirit!
Go Macs!
