Mother McAuley High School

MOTHER McAULEY LIBERAL ARTS HIGH SCHOOL is a Catholic educational community committed to providing a quality college-preparatory education for young women.

In the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy and their foundress, Catherine McAuley, we prepare students to live in a complex, dynamic society by teaching them to think critically, communicate effectively, respond compassionately to the needs of their community and assume roles of Christian leadership.In partnership with parents, we empower young women to acknowledge their giftedness and to make decisions with a well-developed moral conscience.

For 175 years, McAuley has remained a school deeply committed to the success of young women. As an alumna and now president of Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School, I have always felt immeasurable pride in our community - and that pride has never been stronger than it is today. McAuley is steeped in rich history and a tradition of academic excellence.

With a balanced vision of academic excellence, cultural wealth in the liberal arts, athletic achievement, and a strong spiritual life, Mother McAuley is a place young women grow as compassionate, responsible, and productive Christian leaders.

It is through our rigorous liberal arts and college-preparatory program, that students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, integrity and confidence they will need to meet the demands of a fast-changing world as decision makers and leaders guided by strong Mercy values.Never are we more proud of our young women than when this mission drives their many accomplishments.

At McAuley, girls don't just sit in the audience. They take center stage in the classroom, science lab, playing field and theatre. Surrounded by positive role models and abundant avenues for personal growth and development, girls cultivate the leadership and confidence skills needed to pursue a world of endless opportunities.

Before us lie our hopes and dreams reflected in the brilliant faces of the young women of Mother McAuley. To them and to all who will follow them, we commit ourselves to being the very best so that they might be their very best. For us to call them to excellence in all things, we must call ourselves to excellence.
