Magnificat High School,
a girls’ Catholic college-preparatory high school, founded and sponsored by the Sisters of the Humility of Mary, calls young women to live Mary’s Magnificat in the world.
The Magnificat My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for you have looked with favor on your lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is your name. You have mercy on those who fear you in every generation. You have shown the strength of your arm, you have scattered the proud in their conceit. You have cast down the mighty from their thrones, and have lifted up the lowly. You have filled the hungry with good things, and the rich you have sent away empty. You have come to the help of your servant Israel for you have remembered your promise of mercy, the promise you made to our ancestors, to Abraham and Sarah and their children forever.
Magnificat Anima Mea Dominum My soul magnifies the Lord!
Our Mission
We educate young women holistically to learn, lead, and serve in the spirit of Mary’s Magnificat.

At Magnificat no day is the same as the one before. Each class challenges me to think in a new way and to dare to learn. Every day teaches me more about our world and my place in it. – Emma ’18
