Cardinal Mooney has been a great choice for my family. I have experienced true care and concern from staff when my family faced hardship. I have met teachers and coaches truly invested in the students. They also provide a tough college prep curriculum that prepares kids for college. The Mooney family is close knit as well, and very welcoming

Both sons graduated from Cardinal Mooney. CM prepared them to succeed in college by offering rigorous AP and Honors courses, an outstanding Speech and Debate program, the opportunity to participate in myriad service and academic organizations and theater. Both children earned fabulous scholarships as a result. Love CM.
