Make high school YOUR BEST YEARS!
YOU THERE! TAKES McAULEY
GIRLS ALL
High School is a time for new beginnings… lifelong friendships, unforgettable experiences, and invaluable opportunities. We believe that a school FOR GIRLS is better than a school WITH girls. We believe that academic excellence, leadership skills and confidence flourish best in an environment with a sole focus on empowering young women.
Graduates of girls’ schools are SIX TIMES more likely to consider majoring in MATH, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY
THREE TIMES more likely to consider ENGINEERING compared to girls who attended co-ed schools.

TIME TO EXPLORE
“McAuley showed me how to be a leader and how to express who I am without being shy.”
- GIANNA, CLASS OF 2024
Our liberal arts curriculum encourages you to ask different questions, explore unfamiliar terrain and indulge your passion for discovery. We create an environment where our students can be leaders in and out of the classroom. They are encouraged to become self-motivated learners who are creative, empathetic and open-minded.
“McAuley was my first choice because it was a family like environment where girls could reach their full potential.”
- ALEXIS, CLASS OF 2025

Campus Ministry is at the heart of our mission as a Catholic school and supports the spiritual development of our students. McAuley offers students a number of opportunities to follow in the footsteps of Catherine McAuley and examine their relationship with God, self and others, through discussion, reflection, service and prayer.
McAuley allows girls to explore their creativity and express themselves artistically. Our state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, and esteemed faculty provide the perfect environment for our girls to gain the confidence to star in our musicals, build sets for our productions, design our yearbook, decorate our hallways with original artwork, and fill our hearts with music.
“I love the idea of being at an all-girls school as I knew I would learn how to be more confident in myself.”
- BRENNA, CLASS OF 2024McAuley girls are actresses, musicians, singers, tech and stage crew members, costume designers, painters, photographers, sculptors, graphic designers, and much more.
