Mary Help of Christians Academy has made me the person I am today. This establishment has given me the self-confidence I never thought I would have. Here, I have been able to try new things and take new opportunities. I have strengthened my faith through friendship and the amazing opportunities at MHC Academy such as mass, adoration, confession, and so much more. Mary Help is more than just an educational institution. It has given me the skills and confidence to take on challenges rather than run away from them. I have been able to reach my full potential with rigorous courses such as AP Calculus, AP United States History and more. Mary Help has taught me to believe in myself and has helped instill a work ethic that will sustain me throughout my next academic journey and career endeavors. I have been able to grow in my leadership skills by being President of the Math Honor Society (Mu Alpha Theta), Head Captain of the Don Bosco Football Cheer Team, President of the Pro-life Club, and President of MHC Academy’s Chorus. These opportunities have taught me integrity, respect, collaboration, and leading by example.Beyond merely the activities and excellent classes that Mary Help of Christians Academy provides, the most impactful would be the values and principles that imbue this place. Our motto is “Beauty, Truth, and Joy.” This is not only the motto but is also reflected in the faculty, staff and students.
