Our graduation requirements exceed those recommended by the Illinois State Board of Higher Education.

Educators

74% of our faculty hold masters degrees or higher. Many are coaches, moderators of clubs and participate in areas of campus ministry and service. 13 faculty & staff members are alumni of MCHS and have returned to their alma mater.

Curriculum

Our curriculum allows students to take courses within four levels: Signum Fidei, College Prep, Honors and Advanced Placement. These levels are determined by Placement Exam results, Proficiency Exam results and Grade School and High School teacher recommendations. Students are not put into one single track, but rather they are placed into classes that engage and aid in learning at their level.
