Mayfield was wonderful for my daughter. She received a quality education that allowed her to attend the college of her choice. Mayfield was home to her and our family as well. So grateful she had a positive experience. Teachers are encouraging. The campus is amazing with Strub Hall being so warm and inviting.

My daughter is a freshman at Mayfield Senior School and has never been happier! She loves going to an all-girl Catholic high school. She loves her teachers and has made many new friends! She played a sport in the fall and is playing another one this winter. She loves being busy and meeting girls from all classes.
