Bishop Miege students are provided with a faith-based education rooted in the Catholic tradition. We strive to educate the whole student by blending learning with faith and making faith an integral part of the school day. This is accomplished through prayer as a fundamental component of each class, Mass celebrations, along with a focus on service to others.
Miege offers a strong educational program designed to recognize the needs and differences of individual students, to develop students potential in accordance with ability, and to equip graduates to live and find future success. Smaller class size allows for individual attention to students and the building of close relationships between experienced faculty and the students.
Active involvement in service during high school develops a sense of responsibility and a lifetime desire to respond to the needs of the world. In order to strengthen the commitment to be of service to others, Miege provides a four-year service program that challenges students to reach beyond themselves and to touch the lives of others.
Students are strongly encouaged to become well-rounded individuals by interacting with others in a variety of extra-curriulcular activities which serves as an extension of a solid educational program. These activities help enhance social skills, build self-confidence and self-discipline, and teach lessons that last a lifetime that they would not be exposed to in a classroom setting.
Out of a total of 311 soccer teams in the U.S., the Bishop Miege Varsity Boys and Girls Soccer teams have each been awarded the Team Academic Award which recognizes exemplary performance in the classroom during the 2021-22 academic year.
