I'm a senior at CMHS, and the four years I have spent at this school have been the best. I have made so many great friends, participated in soccer, softball, lyceum, student council, NHS, French NHS, foreign Language club, and the drama club, and I am currently taking three AP courses. The teachers and

Not only are we prepared for college, but we are deeper in our faith and become well-rounded individuals. Both of my older sisters attended this school, and two of my cousins are actually in the school with me right now, and my family and I have noticed how much the school has improved over the past 10 years or so. My memories of this school will never fade. Read less

Wow! in response to the AP parents, they obviously do not know how difficult that AP exam is and how more than 1/2 the students that take it do not get 4's and 5's but still receive college credit.

I agree with the AP comment. My child received all A's in honors math during her first three years and then took AP Calculus during her senior year in which she earned all A's. After a great academic year she did not pass the AP exam. Even worse she could not pass the basic skills test given to all

I am very disappointed in the fact that so many key figures have left the school in the past 2 years. It seems the administration does not value the faculty and staff that keep good families coming to Cardinal McCarrick. At one time there was a lot of service projects and community projects going on.
